Totally disagree on the config point. In fact I think the system should be made more simple, so you can keep your editor settings in a dotfile repo. It's not so simple to do this when the settings files themselves are buried in a packages folder, and you have to take care not to accidentally commit your license along with it all.

Hell, even just having the option to parse settings and load plugins from a local dotfile, like vim or emacs, would be nice. The rationale for wanting this is that the config is just text, and is something you'll progressively hone over time (esp. with keybindings).

Split windows would be much better if you could mix and match the size, or have a non-standard layout.

One of ST's real benefits could be its position as a beginner's introduction to vim and/or emacs. It's already immediately more accessible.

Agree with you. Just mean I'd like UI to wrap what is there.
