Since the questions continue to come in about this, there must be a way to improve the readme to hopefully at least reduce them some...

Create a new branch from development and call it st3 then update the package.json file.
That's all that was ever needed.

Edit: You can set it so Sublime Text 3 only pulls from the st3 branch.

I think the problem is that a lot of people who are new to ST have no idea what it means to install a package directly from github. I suggest adding some links that make it easy for people to learn, and also do a step by step manual install for those who don't have the time to learn about it.

Exactly! People (who are new to ST) have no idea what the hell is github.
This was also my case when I discovered ST (been using dreamweaver since 1997 until last summer)
I've eventually managed to configure CF syntax and code hints in ST3 (and LOVE it!) but it's been quite a struggle.
There are still quirks and I'd love to contribute to fix them but have no idea how or where to start.

Note that this PR changes nothing about install instructions or the functionality of what's in the repo; it only seeks to improve on the wording regarding why ST3 requires special install instructions.
