Faster application startup would be nice. I don't know whether it's checking for updates or something else but putting these things in background and speeding up the application would be nice. Sometimes several seconds are needed for starting Sublime Text.

For example, letters like "ó" and "í" are displayed "o´" and "i´" unless the file is created by Sublime Text 2. 

When the "Indent Using Spaces" option is enabled, I can't insert a real tab. I've tried adding a unique keybinding to insert a "\t" (like shift+tab, but without contextual alternatives for unindent, tab completion, etc), but it still gets converted into spaces (even when the insertion point is in the middle or at the end of a line).

This becomes a problem when I need to insert a real tab into file that has "Indent Using Spaces" enabled (e.g. a source file that is space-indented and I need to put a real tab in a string).

Also, since I default to indentation using spaces (IUS), any file without any line of leading indentation (e.g. a TSV -- tab-separated file) will default to IUS and thus not let me insert a real tab anywhere.

It seems the characters inserted by the "insert" command do not trigger other keybindings, but they do go through the IUS-phase of processing. Perhaps you could add a "literal_insert" command that bypasses the IUS-phase?

Also, many other text editors have a command that makes the next key be inserted as a literal. I'm content with a literal insert command, as I can add my own keybindings, but a more general solution might also be worth considering.

Anyway, thank you for writing Sublime Text 2. It's really rather amazing. In my opinion, the whole emacs/vi holy war is an obnoxious bug splattered on ST2's windshield. :)

I do hope you consider opening up the source, though. With your unlimited trial, I doubt it'll affect sales significantly, but I would definitely consider a custom license forbidding redistribution of any derived source in binary form and requiring all pull requests/patches to grant you copyright.

when opening a folder, either from the command line or the "open folder" menu option, i think it would be great if the folder thus opened has a .sublime-project file in it, that the settings in that project file are applied in the same way as if you instead opened the project dire ctly from the Project menu.

There is a great vim plugin that handles proper PEP-8 indentation: python.vim

A OS X feature request: I would be happy to see the system wide contextual menu (especially the services menu) when right clicking in Sublime Text.

I am constantly switching between projects and it would be great if sublime kept the open folder structure of each project. That way you do not have to keep opening several folders each time you switch back. 

Minor bug: when typing selectors which contain a colon, such as "a:hover" a semicolon is automatically placed after the "a:", which must then be manually deleted.

I think that it would really enhance the ST2 experience for new users if Package Control (or some similar functionality) were included in the base install.

Vim currently has a plugin (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=294) which allows you to easily align lines by symbols like : and = which greatly helps the legibility of JavaScript objects, JSON, etc.
