I would probably be curious about ZeroBrane Studio, if I weren't so happy with vim.

You make coffee using vim?
Absolutely. But I prefer plain javascript to coffee.
When I write def I mean function.

Um git shouldnt be grouped with vim. Vim is a editor. Git is a version control system which most developers use with their text editor. Well at least i do. Its kinda like grouping a spoon with soup while all other food options are not group with one even though you can use a spoon with those as well. Unless git is its own terminal based editor then I would be completely wrong and sad :(

Oh thank goodness! I love ST so much I could never imagine switching. And I tried. I keep coming back. It's so simple but customizable. I just wish it had standard preference dialogs instead of making everything text-based for customizing everything in the app.

Sorry, but when I edit it again it will delete all votes again!
Why are there a limit of polls?

I will try Sublime Text too, I saw that a lot of people like it.

You should try Typescript, it's good stuff.

I used IntelliJ Idea with a Lua Plugin but the author of the plugin seems to have too little time on his hands to update it regularly.

That's why I bought Sublime Text 3, but I'm pretty unhappy with it so far (maybe I just need some time with it). It looks like there is a bug with indentation of if / elseif statements and some other things. The syntax highlighting for Lua is also pretty basic to say the least. The IntelliJ plugin allowed you to have different colors for local / global variables and much more ... I'm missing that a lot so far.
