Write more code in Symfony2 with that nine simple questions
I was kind a skeptic about moving from heavy weight IDE(eclipse like) to Sublime. But damn sublime is damn quick. Sublime is not a fork of Vim. With few plugins you can keep your old flow. With another few more you can optimize it.
I did this and two months ago and still my eclipse icon is covered with dust.

So there are eight questions to ask yourself:
Q: Want to install anything?
A: Install Package Control
Q: Want to avoid typos and syntax errors?
A: Install SublimeLint

A: Install Emmet

Q: Want to run your PHPUnit from your editor?
A: Install PHPUnit
Q: Want to write with PHP-PSR-2?
A: Install PHP Code Sniffer
Q: Want to do more with less code?
A: Install following packages:
And the final one that you need to answer yourself.
Do you dare to move to sublime2?
PS.
Buy the freaking license.

@vlakarados So can you explain why vim commands are working on sublime? It's not a direct fork. Vim isn't father but step-father for sure.
@emgiezet yeah, it's just a pre-installed plugin, a great one, but it's not in the core
Vim commands in all those editors are emulated and limited. That means it will never work exactly the same as in vim. For an old vim user that's a no-go for a switch.
@jakubzalas there aren't any switch options for hardcore VIM users. I know that sublime to VIM is like going to McDonald's for salads.
You should mention about Soda theme, it provide much more comfortable work.
