Sublime Text 2 is a really nice text editor with a lot of power behind it. It also has a “Vintage” mode for folks who fancy vim, such as myself. I also happen to enjoy exploring new software, especially text editors, and Sublime Text 2 is my current favorite text editor. The only majorly annoying thing about Sublime Text 2 is the way it handles word wrapping. Periods (.) can sometimes wrap to the next line making it look like you have a mistake in your writing. This is only a problem when writing paragraphs, like in Markdown for blog posts.
