after trying and evaluating several programs to write LaTeX files I ended up frustrated with the idea to write my own one. Before I started I thought about what I would like to achieve and one major priority is the cross platform support and a fast and efficient way to complete my work.
With the aim to complete my PhD thesis with it I wrote a plugin for Sublime Text 2. Sublime Text is available on Windows, Macintosh, and Linux and so a good framework to work with. After playing around with the available LaTeXTools for ST2 I started to improve it but after a while I realized I wrote so much from scratch and added so many new functions that I basically created a brand new plug-in.

You can also give me some feedback here to the feature list below; what do you think?
