So i am using Sublime Text 2, is this still a popular choice? or have i missed a new show in town, new software?, finally got round to installing packages and i am comfortable using it which is the main thing for my own work flow but always curious who is using what and alternatives :)

So stop worrying about your tools and get back to writing code.
If you really want to tweak your text editor workflow, maybe find an add-on or 3 for sublime text that makes you more productive and satisfies the 2 earlier criteria.

Not good, the best one I am still using is actually a paid one (small fee) for sftp upload. The reason I like it is because it will upload any file to the server upon saving.

I used also Komodo and Coda, Zend etc, the thing is that they autocomplete your code with things I don't want to, so for me a simple notepad is enough, maybe it's harder, but it works for me the best in that way
