Show HN: A Sublime Text plugin to move around and reform things

https://github.com/facebook/codemod has been very helpful in the few times I needed it.

Of course, a tool that really "understood" code (and multi-language projects) would be much better, but that is only happening next year (like Linux on the desktop).

I tried Sublime and Atom and stopped using them because they didn't understand code.

Netbeans has been my go-to editor for a long time now, and the reason is because it understands code better than any other editor I've used. It's actually uncanny a lot of the time.

I'm going to try WebStorm soon, but at the moment, Netbeans (with some reconfiguration) helps me work the fastest.

Edit: to elaborate a little bit, Netbeans does a great job of guessing types and arguments by itself. When it has javadoc-style comments (for any language), then it uses those. The autocomplete is really fantastic.

That has been happening for several years now: http://www.jetbrains.com/products.html

Oh man, I'd love to be able to do most of my work on the same platform to the extent that I could use a specialized editor.

Great work, seems promising. Will give it a run through now.
