That is sad. There should be a some kind of TOS for public internet companies. While this kind of exploits does not hurt google but they can be very dangerous for users.
Sounds like it would be a good extension to Data Protection / Computer Abuse/Misuse Acts depending on what it allows access to. Anyone pointing out a failing in your system should not be prosecuted unless they've actually committed a crime.
But all the geek will love it :). Its a real gem, so you can install it. Its the best way to invite other hacker friends. I hope there is no hackathon on wedding. :)
I totally agree here. Sublime is just an rebound. People will move on.
I think they should converge to Old Editors like Vim/Emacs because Editors like these don't die, they never have. They keep coming back, like a Zombie (Not the best example I could come up with).
But being on Emacs gave me an advantage of persistence. In past I have changed companies, development machines, operating systems and programming languages but never editor. It was always there, available.
