Pros
Pro Pre-configured with layers
Whenever you need to work on a new language that you don't have plugins for yet, you can choose to check if sublimious has a layer for that language. If it does, all you need to do is activate it and sublimious will automatically download all plugins you need for that language, add keybindings for efficient usage and set the optimal settings for these plugins.
Pro VIM centric
This plugin is perfect for VIM fanatics. It tries to add VIM keybindings to everything, even to where you didn't know it was possible like the sublime text overlay or the sidebar
Pro Ergonomic shortcuts
sublimious adds shortcuts that actually make sense. "p f" for example searches files in the current project. "g s" executes "git status" and so on, you get the idea. It even comes with a helper that shows you what shortcuts are available.
Pro Has both GUI and TUI
Both text and GUI versions behave mostly the same, just the way notepad users would expect it to.
Like shift+arrows - select, Ctrl+c - copy, Ctrl+o - open a file.

Cons
Con Community
Does not have an IRC channel or some kind of forum where a community of developers/plugin writers could evolve around. Has a mailing list which is said to be active but that does not feel that attractive.
