I notice the ST3 plugin was a bit... flaky the last time I tried 
it (admittedly about 6 months ago).

I ended up settling on vim with a few plugins (and live without 
auto-complete, it's not that important for me), but when I was 
using GUI text editors, I settled on VS Code with the code-d 
plugin. Its autocomplete etc worked pretty much out of the box 
for me.

Make sure you follow the 'dependencies' section of code-d through 
though to get your env set up. It worked outta the box for me, on 
both windows and linux.

You can get VS Code to compile via ctrl+B (I think that was the 
shortcut) but you've to make a modification to a json file to 
tell it to do it.

If you need more help let me know and I'll write up something 
proper for you.

Cheers!
