Q

I prefer the look of Sublime Text 2, or otherwise find it fits my situation better, why did you get rid of it and how can I get it back?

A

There were no sources for the images in the Default theme, and they were almost all only normal resolution. For a number of years, high DPI setups (including retina Macs) were using low-res graphics, and there was no way other than creating a new master source to create them.
The new Default theme is a refresh of the old design that incorporates the general look and feel, but with a refreshed color palette, more flat aesthetic, and more compatible color choices.

Q

When did an error indicate on SSh?

A

The error message indicates that you’re starting Sublime over SSH via terminal, better login into GUI mode and try to start it..hope it will work out..
