Sublime Text 2 isn't too far off from being able to read mail, is it? How is ST2 plugin development? Is the API stable? Well-documented?

How is ST2 plugin development? Is the API stable? Well-documented?
- kaolinite 14y agoMaybe an email client could be my next plugin ;-) It's not the best documented API I've worked with but it's also nowhere near the worst. There's also a very active IRC channel on Freenode (#sublimetext) which I found helpful. The API docs are here: http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/2/api_reference.html http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/2/api_reference.html I borrowed quite a bit by reading the source of other plugins too (especially PlainTasks, a very good To Do list tool for Sublime). I think this is pretty much essential to creating a plugin as there are parts that just aren't documented very well, or at least I couldn't find it. Finally, Sublime borrows quite a bit from Textmate. The theme syntax, for example, is taken from Textmate - so you can always read the documentation for Textmate's API, which is somewhat better documented.
