You should be fine for sure. Some software you need to be using (in my opinion, at least): - iTerm 2 (use ZSH for your shell and oh-my-zsh to extend it); - Sublime (although it looks like abandonware because it hasn't been updated since December of last year); - Dash for reading documentation; - Hub (https://github.com/github/hub https://github.com/github/hub) to make Git better; - Homesick (https://github.com/technicalpickles/homesick https://github.com/technicalpickles/homesick) for keeping your dotfiles backed up properly Some other things you may want to look into for setting up your dev env: - Boxen (https://boxen.github.com/_ https://boxen.github.com/_ - Laptop by Thoughbot (https://github.com/thoughtbot/laptop https://github.com/thoughtbot/laptop) - Homebrew (this one's kind of obvious)

Thanks, Devin! Bookmarked. Sad to hear about SublimeText. It's a really good project in my opinion, but I have to agree with you.

I still use Sublime every day, and probably will continue to do so until Atom becomes usable. iTerm2 is awesome, but zsh hasn't won me over yet. I'd like to add Alfred to this list. Aside from my MacBook Air itself, it's probably the best purchase I've ever made.

With regards to Sublime Text, there's a few forum posts asking whether or not its been abandoned. So far the only response was back in March (http://www.sublimetext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=15477&p=58951#p58951 http://www.sublimetext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=15477&p...), and not from the creator (Jon), but those handling sales enquiries. All up, it seems the creator has taken a break and momentum has stalled. Sad, since I can't think of an editor I like as much as Sublime.

  Hmm... I really do hope they start up again. It's by far my most used application and it'd kill me to find another editor I like as much as it. I have tried Atom in the past, but it just felt "thin" and "flimsy". Maybe it's because I've been using ST for so long I just am automatically against any other project that tries to compete for the market share. :)

    Huge Sublime fan here, recently switched to Atom. With the new React-driven editor buffers, it feels much more native. Give it another spin! Properly configured, it's pretty much at parity with Sublime. Insane momentum behind it with new plugins every day. And if you don't like something, just pop open DevTools and dive in! A lot to be said for that.

      Okay. I'll try it out, but no promises. ;)

What exactly is missing from SublimeText 3 that causes people to think development has been abandoned? It seems to work great? Do we really need our text editors on a rapid release cycle?
- NoahBuscher 12y ago
  No - There's nothing wrong with it. But they have to continue to release builds at least or operating systems may not support it without using a VM and an older version of the OS. That's my main concern at the moment.

  Sublime Text 3 is still in beta. It doesn't need a new release but it's been 6 months since the last build, so if it's feature-complete it should be reflected with a major, stable 3.0 release.
