I think the team is saying right now "they're really anoying, just let them going crazy"... Now, seriously, guys, at least an honest response would be something, at least a "we won't add this because it's against our philosophy", something...

Right, and what worries me is precisely that, ST is, with no doubts, a modern and efficient text editor. What I can think is: maybe it's hard to integrate this because of "python reasons" or, maybe they're just delaying the feature for some other reason. Anyway, common sense tell us all (no matter what editor we use/like) that ST should support this because, as you said, even the (excuse my word) crappy win notepad can do it, goddammit!
