I have a feeling that we might add Sublime to that list at some point. It is cross-platform and easily extensible. I hope it can survive long enough to accumulate enough plugins and developers and be open-sourced at some point.

But that I'm an Emacs guy.

I don't think I'll ever understand why people would invest time (e.g., hundreds of hours over the course of years) extending closed source software over which they have so little control. So many people used TextMate until the development slowed. And now these same people seem to have jumped to Sublime Text. Did they port all the TextMate plugins they had written? Or did they not write any TextMate plugins to begin with? I'm guessing the latter because when I've browsed collections of config files at GitHub, the people who use closed source editors tend not to extend them, which is probably a wise choice.

AFAIK, text mate bundles can be dropped into ST2.

Nice, thanks for the info. That was a great move by the ST2 developers.

I think themes and snippets are compatible, but not full plugins.
