Even though it's a pre-alpha, it works extremely well and is very stable. It has the almost all of the capabilities you would expect from other editors, including an extensive list of add-ons, and it's fast, so it's very reliable overall.

Very careful! When you create a new annotation (tab), you can write normally. However, when closing the program, it does not ask if you want to save the file, nor does it save it when you open it again. For that reason alone I already consider Sublime Text much better (apart from all the advantages such as being much more used).

Very fast, command prompt directly accessible, nice color syntax and completion, like it very much ! And, yes, you have to save before you leave. Ctrl+S ;)
