It's definitely slick. While comparisons with ST are obvious, I find it a touch more polished. One example is that the "find all" results page is automatically updated whenever you modify the results. So, if you replacing a bunch of text, the results are updated in real-time each time the files are saved.

Two gripes that I have so far are:

- The actual integration with GH does not work for me. E.g. Git blame does nothing. I haven't had a chance to troubleshoot yet.

- I can't open files (or even see them) if they're in .gitignore. I can't figure out how to turn this off.

All in all though, I like it so far. I'm excited that the community seems to have hopped on it so quickly with packages so it will be interesting to see where it goes.
