There are a few annoying things about ST3 which aren't so on Atom

- no engagement with the developers. For $70 I expect to be able to file bug reports and maybe some feature requests. Without being banned.

- multi file search is ridiculously poor. I can't save search patterns, the long text box with all the file patterns is hard to navigate (on OS X if you put the cursor at the end it starts scrolling), but most of all the result pane doesn't stick as it used to. I have to search again every time I click on a file from the results then close it.

- copy and paste is STILL buggy on OS X. Sometimes you paste a string and it puts it in the line above the one where you have your cursor.

- package control is not included. It's just common sense

- the scrollbars are invisible on OS X. I don't want a minimap, it used too much space and adds too much noise

- I use BracketHighlighter. Every time I want to customise the highlight colour it's a royal pain in the neck because of ST3's crazy architecture

I'd much rather use atom these days.

1) And maybe a massage once in a while, am I right?

2) My only gripe is that it can block the UI.

3) Not experienced.

4) Would be nice, but not a deal-breaker.

5) That's how scrollbars work on macos. You can change it with "overlay_scroll_bars": "disabled". Minimap can also be disabled via View > Hide Minimap.

6) No idea.

7) Who is stopping you?

Expecting developers to allow you to report bug is hardly something that warrants idiotic sarcasm.

How did you get banned? I saw a lot of bug reports and feature requests on the ST forum, there is even a whole sub board dedicated to feature requests which seems to be quite active.

I commented on a thread started by an obvious spammer, of the 'I made millions working from home' sort (ironically, by saying "Spam")

I believe PackageControl _is_ included as of WBond getting on the team. He's also far more responsive than previous experience.

WRT Scrollbars: `"overlay_scroll_bars": "enabled"` should do the trick.

I can't help with many of the others, I'm afraid - not that it really matters, as I'm sure you're fine with whatever your current solution is.
