That was released in "Build 3084 / Release Date: 8 April 2015". I'd also count the "new regex engine" as a major feature, landing in 3085, 5 May. Since then, for 7 builds, it has been small scale fixes and minor improvements, even them stopping altogether around July 10. http://www.sublimetext.com/3dev I also remember what the development pace was like for ST2 -- those builds were coming up several times a week even,…

What features do you want? (that arn't handled by the plug-in system) What bugfixes do you want?

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.

But if you are alt-tabbing, you no longer have the full suite of Sublime Text tools to work with. You don't have multiple cursors, and you can't use goto file, you don't get nice syntax highlighting, you can't select and execute SQL embedded in other source code files. In the grand scheme of things, I think it all depends on how much you interact with a db. If you just run an odd command here and there, $30 may seem…

I don't know that I'd save that much time switching back and forth between sublime and workbench is my typical workflow. I gain a lot from the multiple cursors when building multiple insert/delete statements...but not sure what other situations where I could leverage this plugin to save time [with sql].

I am interested to see how "version 2" of this pans out.

For the record, workbench is not the end-all. It is quite clunky.

Several. Improved multiple file search, an an API so that multiple plugins can annotate the gutter at the same time, etc.
