This point shouldn't be understates. Currently I use a mixture of Sublime, Intellij, emacs, and VI, on Windows, Linux, and OSX. I'm sure this hurts my flow.

As I started off with Emacs, I would love to return it to it for this reason. However, I've never been able to smoothly recreate two or three of the features that I need, despite spending hours playing around with different plugins.

1) For Dynamic language development, a 'goto arbitrary file' as slick as Sublime is all I need. This one feels simple to achieve, but I haven't been able to find anything similar.

2) For Java, a working tags or 'goto symbol' implementation with disambiguation and even the slightest awareness of the language and scope.

I would probably have more success writing own editor from scratch that learning emacs lisp however!



Why not make your own text editor, then sell it. I'll bet ST is raking in millions. Get a piece of that action.
