Funny this doesn't come up more often when discussing St, as it is about the same price and an old name.

How is it to use?

Depends on how you configure it, it can be a lot of things. The UI is pretty amazing, but I don't have the knowledge or time to do it justice in the least, sorry :)

To be perfectly honest, the first time I finally tried it after hearing so much about it for so long, Sublime Text kind of disappointed me. You can't even print out of the box -- waitwhat? It does other cool things, true, and there is room for more than one text editor, text files are awesome that way. But still, I felt a bit like when everybody was going nuts over Firefox because they didn't know about Opera. I love Mozilla (a lot) and harbour no ill will towards Sublime Text, but god damnit, software isn't as tight as it used to be. I don't know anything about anything and even I can tell.

Printing isn't a task for a text editor. If you want to print something, open it in your word processor. I would be disappointed if the Sublime devs wasted a bunch of time developing 3-platform printing support when there are about a million more useful editing features they could be working on instead.
I was thinking about ultra edit.
