So kind of you to assume that I haven't used it. I use it on Windows and after I formatted my Window 7 and am now on Windows 8, I don't have my Sublime text preferences with me and was wondering how people are versioning and syncing theirs. In vim ( which I don't claim to be an expert user), every setting is in .vimrc. Including the vundler bundles. Now, I have to reinstall all the plugins from Package Control. How do I version the settings? Get a list of installed plugins? Those were my questions, after having used Sublime for a few months now.
Not sure the path for windows, but on OS X you could make a repository at ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages. It doesn't separate out system packages (basically all your language info/syntax highlight settings), but all your user-installed packages go there and user settings are in Packages/User. If you cloned that folder into a fresh install, it should bring everything you had previously along with it.
That is actually a big gripe I have with ST2. I would love ST2 to have its config files in an easy Unix-like place. Like dotfiles, or better yet, dot-directories.
(why dot-dirs instead of dot-files? Because while Windows does support symlinks, many programs do delete/newfile instead of modifying files, which breaks symlinks. In a dot-dir, that does not matter.)
But really, this is not a big gripe, and furthermore one easily solvable uing symlinks.

Maybe you should, you know, download Sublime and try it out? The settings are stored similarly to Vim.
