WINDOWS INSTALLATION
If you have git installed on your windows pc;
Code:

And you're done.

If not, we can manually drop it there by downloading from :

LINUX INSTALLATION
Install git via your distro's package manager.

After you have installed git, go to your distribution's .config folder in /home/ and find sublime text's package folder.
(the location of sublime text config may vary on your distro)
Code:
cd ~/.config && ls -a
cd sublime-text-3/Packages

clone from git, and you are finished.
(in ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages)
Code:
git clone https://github.com/rainglow/sublime

And add

inbetween the json brackets like so:

Save, and you are finished.

Note that the font will change immediately upon saving your settings (CTRL+S), if you don't notice a change you either have the name of your font wrong or it cannot be used.

Sublime is probably the most lightweight code editor next to NP++. It's very hackable too as seen in this tutorial. Honestly Sublime is a great median between a full on IDE and a basic text editor. Really offering the best of both worlds.

I personally think that sublime is a great program but like you said. It's personal preference

It really boils down to what language you're using. I'm pretty sure treebeard uses C++ and Java, so Sublime text is nearly useless.

Well I can understand that. I mean I use C++ and Java from time to time but I tend to vary so sublime text comes in handy. I am not saying I use it all the time though.
