I'm curious: What does your editing workflow look like when you work with Sublime? What type of development do you do, and what plugins and features are most useful?

1. Open Sublime Text 2. Write code like a bawss 3. There is no step 3

So you never get around to releasing your code either, eh?

For PHP/coffeescript/LessCSS projects, here is something that I use:

I create a Phing build file in build/build.xml. Then I map a key combination (alt+super+b) that builds the default Phing target defined in that file. I find this helpful for quickly compiling Coffeescript and Less CSS on my local machine.

PHP/Rails web developer here using OSX:

I like to keep ST full screen with the file browser hidden (Cmd + K + B) with just the code being displayed. When I need to find a file in the project I simply use the file finder (Cmd + P), or if I can't recall the file name or need to create new files I open back the file browser (Again using Cmd + K + B).

I don't really take full advantage of ST plugins, sometimes use Emmet and have BracketHighlighter installed.

Theme wise I use the Tomorrow-Night-Eighties colour scheme, Soda Dark theme along with Menlo 12 font.

I also keep chrome open full screen again in another window and swipe across to that when I need to view changes (Gets automatically updated when made using the LiveReload app).

I write Javascript/PHP/HTML/CSS in Sublime 2 on Windows 8 with Chrome for previewing.

My main workflow is to have my active projects added on the file browser so I have ctrl+p to find files, I have Chrome open on my second monitor and I use the fantastic SFTP plugin to upload to my server on save. I use the LivePage Chrome plugin to reload pages when something changes - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/livepage/pilnojpmd...

I mostly do Web Development with Python, PHP, Javascript, HTML and CSS. The plugins I use are

* Package Control (http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/package_control) - For easy installation of plugins.

* Tag (https://github.com/SublimeText/Tag) - Autocompletation, Indentation, Lint of HTML tags.

* Sublime Linter (https://github.com/SublimeLinter/SublimeLinter) - To identify the parse errors on the fly.
