I'm using Sublime Text 2 because it's obviously the new hotness in the valley.

I was at a g2g and everyone was coding in ST2. The social stigmatism of not using the new hotness is enough to get a lot of people to conform or be an obviously bad developer.

tl;dr Code editors have more mindshare than _actually getting stuff done_.

This same phenomenon is why I use a MacBook Pro (though admittedly, the MBP is peerless, unlike TEXT EDITORS).

A text editor is "hotness" in the valley? And that makes it worth using? Please someone assure me that "the valley" culture isn't so arrogant and full of itself that one would really be judged for not giving (frankly) two shits about Sublime Text?

(getting downvoted by Sublime Text 2 fans* it appears)

It's got nothing to do with "the valley" but it's the best text editor I've used on either Win/OSX platforms.

Just because people you dislike like it, is no reason to dismiss it entirely.

I don't know how that could be taken from my post. The grandfather comment implied that I would be looked down upon if I didn't use the "hip" Sublime Text 2, which I find to be absurd. I couldn't care less if people want to use unix utilities, notepad, ultraedit, vim, emacs or Microsoft Word to edit their files, but looking down on others seems absurd.
