+1 for the ability to have settings to hide/show the scrollbars - minimap + hide scrollbar was my preferred setup for sublime 1 on windows, and i'd love to be able to duplicate that on linux.
I would love to see a configuration setting to hide the scrollbar also.
My first impression was the same, with the minimap scrollable the scrollbar is just redundant and wastes pixel space. Even with out the minimap though it is a very common setting in most text editors as keyboard short cut users often just use page up/down or other shortcuts etc. So being able to gain more pixels for doing 2-up document viewing etc is nice.
