#2Love Sublime, and honestly feel like if there was more financial support from developers it would have even more marketshare.
Congratulations Will, check out his super useful sftp package as well: https://wbond.net/sublime_packages/sftp.

#3Woo! I worked with Will for a couple years and this is going to be a great pick up for Sublime. Nice guy, great developer.

Great hire.

#6This is very nice to see. Just last week Sublime started releasing new dev builds after close to a year of silence. Sublime is my favorite text editor and it seemed like it was going to drift off into obscurity but this will definitely inject new life into it. Sublime didn't just make a hire, they hired the guy responsible for an arguably large part of sublime's success.

#7They also replaced their awful old forums with Discourse (which Atom also uses): https://forum.sublimetext.com.

#8As others mention, these are amazing news. The last months were void of communication from Jon and the forums were in a constant state of spam+complains, so hopefully this (and the recent updates) signals something is changing :)

I don't think money was an issue. Wes Bos gave some numbers on his Sublime Text learning course and extrapolated that the Sublime team had made a few million easily for what was a one developer operation.
He based his numbers on assuming that the people that paid for his course to learn sublime would only be a fraction of those that paid to actually use sublime, so I think that sounds reasonable.
