Now if only I could afford it :D

I understand you're joking, but this is important. It's $70. I know that's a lot to some people, but if you're selling your time as a developer it's probably quite a lot less than 1/2 a day at your usual rate. For a tool that will save you many days a year (and increase your bottomline as much), that's really cheap. If you were a designer and needed Adobe's tools you'd be paying much every month.

If you're using Sublime professionally you can afford it. You're choosing not to. That's fine because there are some great free alternatives to use instead, but you have no reason to complain.

No, still beta "Sublime Text 3 is currently in beta. The latest build is 3114."

Are you hitting a different CDN box to me? In Australia, the text under the download box on the front page says "Sublime Text 3, Build 3114, 64 bit". Screenshot is still of v2. The about Sublime Text box on the installed editor says "Stable Channel, Build 3114".

exactly! I've bought SublimeText couple years ago, when the value after currency conversion was 4x higher than for someone who earns in dollars - still it was the best investments in dev tool ever!

No, still beta "Sublime Text 3 is currently in beta. The latest build is 3114."

And this is important because existing Sublime Text licenses are only valid for the beta. When 3 exits beta then everyone will have to buy the upgrade.

Not true. They have been selling Sublime Text 3 licenses for a while.

"A license is valid for Sublime Text 3, and includes all point updates, as well as access to prior versions (e.g., Sublime Text 2). Future major versions, such as Sublime Text 4, will be a paid upgrade."
