> a menu entry to install Package Control

If Sublime is going to acknowledge Package Control, why not just ship with it? I'm sure the Package Control folks would be glad to move their repo upstream.

I've been working for Jon since January.

Part of the reason is allowing it to have a different release cadence, but also to not default to making outbound network connections without a user opting in.

Definitely appreciate that, but couldn't it be a click-through prompt before making a connection? VLC does something similar on first install.

They hired the guy developing Package Control and I believe they're working on integrating it into Sublime, just a matter of time.

I like Atom's built in package management. Less to think about.

You are comparing 30mb tiny text editor with 300mb Electon build. You have a nice package manager, but you are loosing performance. You have optional package manager and lightning fast amazing tiny text editor. Choice is yours.

I wouldn't care about the size of the package. I do care about performance, and there ST blows Atom out of the water, especially with large files.

Seems like that would make it harder to upgrade Package Control?
