Anyone knows what is current status of Sublime Text? I think the version 3 is already in beta for years.

Sublime Text is fine :) Edit: I'm a moderator on the forums. I've been in touch.

We've had 3-4 months without a new dev release though, after it had picked some steam.

Pretty cool but that pricing... I'd be happy to shell out $9 if the trial was successful and the app felt more useful than the alternatives. But $29?

I agree. I feel its worth the $9 price point too. $29? No way. Sublime Integration isn't worth $20 when I can just alt+tab. There are a lot of free apps that provide a ton more db functionality.

Well that's to be expected from a one-man company (IIRC). There used to be a time when you had yearly releases at best for commercial software (and you had to renew your license in order to get the new version). Not every company has to invest in continuous release.

I'm perfectly happy to get infrequent but stable evolutions for Sublime Text.

PS : However if the author could open his source code in order for me to take "inspiration from it" and improving my own Python codebase, that would be great :p

I've been using Jetbrains' 0xDBE recently ( https://www.jetbrains.com/dbe/ ) and I highly recommend it: * it works with IDEAVim * it uses JDBC so you can easily connect to "non-standard" DBs by using any JDBC driver * it's better than psql/vsql/... for dealing with complex queries (you have a real editor rather than limited readline support, if you're lucky enough to have readline support)

You can't even download/purchase that software.

Yes you can, it's in preview mode at the moment:
