It’s easy for people to take blog posts, forum replies, etc. out of context. Don’t sweat it and keep writing retrospectives like these. They’re very insightful.

Not the same, but I have the save_on_focus_lost setting set to true, so when I switch out of ST2 – likely to Chrome with LiveReload on – everything gets saved and I see my changes immediately.
