The Sublime2 dev builds have slowed as of late so I was wondering if the author was prepping for final release to steal TM2's thunder.


I was wondering similarly: Dev work on ST2 seems to have stopped altogether. Which is a pity, because it really was shaping up to be a winner. But there are still plenty of features missing.

Now i'm using chocolatapp, which seems to be moving along briskly and now has a better feature set.


Sorry if this is a tired question, but, does Chocolat have vim bindings or are there any plans for it to?


No, but we're getting there. So far it can sort of do nano bindings :) (only in internal builds).


All right, thanks!


"""Dev work on ST2 seems to have stopped altogether."""

Yeah, no new beta release for a whole of 40 days!

"""Now i'm using chocolatapp, which seems to be moving along briskly and now has a better feature set."""

The only reason it "moves along briskly" is because it started with very little. And better than ST2? Currently is somewhere south of TextMate 1.x


Build 2143 came out on November 12. I'm using build 2144 from November 25. The release pace is slower, but that's still pretty active.


Agreed. My observation about Sublime2 was a positive one. Taking a break from releasing a new dev build every day is not neglect.

Release early, release often.


He slowed down the release of builds in an attempt to get out of beta I believe.


What thunder? I don't see much in the alpha release -- and the quality smells of another 1-2 years of waiting...


I'm not sure... TM1 actually has some pretty rough edges which don't seem to snag in actual use. It's the only non 'mac-like' app that I've ever grown to love.


Press and mindshare thunder!


Have you used used it? I.e is this informed or uninformed nonsense?


Oh, I see what you did here.

Yeah, I f*n used it. I'm a paying 1.x user, and I downloaded TM2. Not very impressive. Actually, mostly the same.


wow, getting hosed for posting a superior alternative, not to mention platform agnostic.
