Chiming in that it works wonderfully on Windows, although I had some problems with font rendering being ugly. Maybe it's just that I don't use ClearType, but I had to change some of the font options to get a result I'm happy with. "font_fac

It's not just an editor. I use it for Python development. There's a plugin that uses Rope to give you completion, go to function definition, etc: https://github.com/JulianEberius/SublimeRope

Why do you think everything will stop with 1080p? Next stop will be 1920x1200, then 2560x1600. And I don't know a lot about hardware, but my GTX460 can't max out games even at 1080p and it's pulling 150 watts. If you packed all of that hard

You can already set (and share) color schemes for what really matters- the code editor. As long as I get to keep my editor colors, I'm sure it will be no big deal to get used to any changes to the chrome.
