My thoughts are similar. The only problem is the alternatives are written on what I consider inferior platforms. I want my editor to be on a fast native language, non-garbage collected speed demon.
That being said, at this rate I might just have to consider a switch to Atom. If you look at the release notes, the progress they make is quite significant.
I just recently made a topic about how bad macros are in sublime text. At this rate of development I doubt they will ever be improved.
