Not agree. There are plugins that do a of lot general enhancements: https://github.com/shagabutdinov/sublime-search-panel-enhanc..., https://github.com/shagabutdinov/sublime-project-files, https://github.com/shagabutdinov/sublime-autocompletion.

All plugins are [almost] language independent and are designed to use with any language.

I think you misunderstood GP's comment, I took their comment as noting that for Java and Scala there's a language-aware refactoring framework (Ensime) with Sublime integration which can thus provide language- and semantics-aware refactorings and transformations (thus further and safer ones).
I got this comment that "this plugin set is worth nothing" (because of the first sentence) and didn't agree with that part.

I agree that language aware refactoring is always better and precise. The pity is that it is not available for most languages.

Goodness gracious no, "worth noting" means "probably valuable or useful to think about or remember" (in this case in the sense of talking about an other edition/refactoring engine which might be better/more powerful for a very specific set of languages rather than in the general case).

Not "[the subject] is worth nothing".

In this case "that's a cool tool, though if you're specifically using Scala or Java Sublime-Ensime provides even more features".

Worth noting as in underscoring or paying attention to.

Not worth nothing...

Today I learned something new about English language, thank you!
