Sublime Text 2 is a text editor for OS X, Linux and Windows, currently in beta.
Identify files that have been modified since opened, even after a save.
An icon toolbar wouldn't be a bad idea. Lots of frequently used things could be put there.
No output panel when exec called from input panel

Alternative payment methods
Is it that difficult to add new payment options? I don't want to create a Paypal account. There are already so many alternatives that is a shame to be locked to one option people are starting to stay away of.
Is there no alternative for an Australian company to accept credit cards online? What about Google Wallet? Or even good old wire transfer. You give us your account, we transfer the money, send you the confirmation and get the licence. Job done, everyone is happy.
Home and End Key handling
One of the best editor UI features of Brief (I'll not say more, those who know, know), was how the Home and End key were handled.
- On first press they went to the end or start of the current line.
- On 2nd press they went to the bottom or top of the current viewport (what you can see on the screen)
- On the 3rd press they went to the end or start of the file.
The ease of using this interface can not be glorified enough. It is amazing. Considering your editor's clear aim is to be glorious in every way, I highly recommend you implement this unappreciated (but unequaled) feature.
PS
You could even generalize it to allow function binding to n-tery presses of a given control key in the plugins. But that matters less to me than this specific functionality.

Custom comment formatting (like VS10x Comments Extender for VS2010)
One of my favorite extensions for Visual Studio is called VS10x Comments Extender. It allows you to setup custom formatting for comments that are typed in a certain manner.
From the VS10x page:
How does it work? Well, when you start a comment with // (C#, C++, F#) or ' (VB), you can add some extra characters (minimum one, maximum three) in order to define how this comment will look like. VS10x Comments Extender will interpret these prefixes and format the comment accordingly.
It REALLY helps to see this in person... check the link below. I think this would be a GREAT addition to an already great text editor.
Look for all the examples here:

text-overflow not recognized as CSS property by syntax highlighting
option to write tmp files to indicate the file is being edited (.lck , .tmp, .swp)
The lack of ability to write and look for .swp files is preventing me from using sublime as my primary editor.
I work with a team in a common codebase, the way we keep from stepping on eachother's toes is when we go to open a file in vim, it notifies us that the file is being worked on.
I don't need the ability to actually READ .swp files, but it would be awesome to be able to look for the existence upon opening. Also, sublime should create a .swp file when opening a file.
Autocomplete still fcked up
Whenever I try to create an anonymous javascript object formatted like this:
{
field:
And hit the tab key to line up my values, Sublime gets totally screwy and starts changing what I typed for "field". It just keeps attempting to autocomplete "field" into "fieldkey" for some reason. There's no auto-complete popup though, this just happens all on its own with no way to cancel it. Anyway it's totally messed up and I can't type what I want to type. Even typing shift-tab doesn't work--there's some really weird behavior there too, type shift-tab and then tab and the cursor jumps all over the place, inserting characters and stuff.
