The new icon feels quite lacking in contrast, and blurry at the edges — especially the top. I’m not sure whether I’d call it an improvement over the old one, which while ugly, was at least nicely defined and sharp.
Continuing to use one of the custom-made icons, so take my feedback with a grain of salt (puu.sh/h4wH for reference).
Simply cannot believe how many whiners there are regarding the icon…
Seriously there are so many more awesome things he could be spending his time on…Why hassle him about the icon?

I agree. I like the icon and I am glad he hired professionals to create it. I also think, choosing orange was a conscious decision. At least on the mac it sets sublime apart from all the popular editors.
Still, being super-picky about the icon also shows how passionate people are about ST. And that’s a good thing
the vintage mode seems to be enabled by default, now.
I’ve installed Soda Theme, and I can’t enable it. I mean it has been disabled, and adding again “theme”: “Soda Dark.sublime-theme” in my .sublime-settings file does not have any effect.
I’m on Ubuntu 11.04 64bit. I’ve downloaded the relevant archive, extracted it and copied sublime_text into my Sublime Text dir…
Add me to the long list of those who don’t like the new icon. Almost all the other alternative icons I’ve seen look better, IMO.
Regarding renaming the file, we need a command in the menu somewhere, for this. Otherwise, we can only rename a file in ST if it belongs to a folder that’s part of the current project. That’s quite limiting.
I’m getting some really bad rendering issues with views created by plugins. For example, when using the Git plugin, and a run the Git Diff command it opens a new scratch view. If I do another diff command which gives different results but has the same view name (eg: diff just one file), then when I use ctrl+tab or ctrl+page up/down to move to it, the tab doesn’t highlight and sometimes the entire tab bar glitches out pretty badly, sometimes with random pixels, sometimes all other tabs disappear.
Please consider putting up a poll about the new icon. I agree with some of the people posting here that this is not “the one”.
The S is in a somewhat silly font that doesn’t feel substantial, or programmer-ish.
The glow around the S looks amateurish and/or old fashioned. They went overboard here.
There’s too much distracting visual detail around the 3D ‘platform’. Too much platform in the icon, not enough of the S-face.
