PROS:
* Unlimited demo - use all features for as long as you like, pay when you decide to keep it.
* Extremely customisable and extensible, to a fault - interface and syntax colour schemes, snippets, macros, customisable commands, build and command-line integration, plug-ins, you name it.
* Amazingly large and friendly community - forums, wikis and irc, lots of community-driven development (themes, syntaxes and and plug-ins), and a wonderfully responsive developer.
CONS:
* poor and incomplete documentation - for such a feature-full programme, charging 'pro' editor prices, I expected a complete set of searchable docs. The half-completed online wiki is a poor excuse of a user guide.
* plug-ins will be required - you will want to search through the web to find and install several of the many (wonderful) plug-ins available from the user community, which give the programme features for your particular programming needs and workflow.
CONCLUSION
Currently, more impressive than TextMate, BBEdit and - dare I say it - a contender for vim. It truly is Sublime.

Beware the other reviews -- there's a lot of misinformation going around about this program's capabilities. Version 2 is notably in beta and adds features/functionality with every update.
Sublime does some things (like settings) differently (IMO: better) than a lot of other programs. I've found it best to ask questions on the developer's feedback site -- I've gotten answers very quickly.

* Goto anything (⌘P) -- WOW!!! How about this "tp@rf" -- this will fuzzy search for a file called text_parser.py in your project, then navigate to the read_file function, all instantly from the keyboard!
* Command Mode (⌘⇧P) -- fuzzy search for any command, again this stops one having to move away from the keyboard -- it (and the Goto anything) is like quicksilver with laser targets on text editing built-in.
* Flexible UI -- open files in coulmns, rows or a grid, as well as standards tabs and a fast project browser pane.
* Textmate bundle support -- it supports some textmate bundle functionality, and a very comprehensive Python API means one can script this in just about any way possible. I'm sure powerful bundles ala textmate will be developed over time.
It is very customisable (via text files mostly, no GUI prefs which is fine by me). And unlike Textmate, it has an very active and communicable developer!
Personally, I'm sticking with Textmate, but that is more out of familiarity. If you want a powerful and elegant text editor which is actually being developed; this has to be close to the top. And being cross-platform (but not a clunky port like UltraEdit), will be beneficial for anyone who needs to work across OSes.

Good start. Wants to be TextMate 2. Limited project support (no virtual folders). Limited project Find. Missing some important syntax/smarts (Pascal, Ada). Can't edit syntax colors, no bold, no italics. Some poor color choices (e.g. selected tab is almost impossible to distinguish). As far as I can tell, it's an everything-in-one-window deal; no way to open files in separate editing wondows; console, Find/Replace, etc. all live in one window. Surely a deal-killer for many. Correct me if I'm wrong.

For me, python scripting was a deal-maker.

Ah. Thanks.
But two other gripes. (I can't find a feedback form in the program, so this will have to do.)
[Sorry--commenting on Sublime 2 here.]
Single-clicking on a file name in the sidebar opens that file into the current tab but does not change the name displayed on the tab. Very weird. Double-clicking opens the file in a new tab.
Again, extremely poor choice of colors: The thumb bar is almost indistinguishable from the elevator background so it is nearly impossible to tell where it is. Of a piece with the same-color-tab issue I complained about earlier. Come on--this is basi UI stuff. I should have to tell you this.
