Those aren't updates?

#4Still being sold for $250 != still being bought for $250, as a lot of people who try selling things on eBay find out to their dismay.

#5I've heard of Epsilon, but never used it.
Back in the days when I actually paid for text editors, my favorite was Multi-Edit (http://multieditsoftware.com/). I remember UltraEdit (http://www.ultraedit.com/) being pretty popular too.
Nowadays, whatever work I'm not doing in Visual Studio is being done in Notepad++.

UltraEdit, the TextMate of the 90s!

#7The order form has this line "Note: As of 19 February 2016, CDs are temporarily out of stock. If you need a CD please email us for estimated availability.", which might imply that someone bought themselves a CD copy of this editor back in February.

#8We changed the title from “A mighty editor still being sold after 30 years for $250”, which breaks the HN guidelines for editorializing.

MultiEdit DOS version was a great tool indeed. looking at the activity of their forum, things are not very lively.

#10I'm a 20+ year daily gnu/x emacs user and purchased a copy of Epsilon in July after demoing it for a couple weeks. Since then I've been coding in Epsilon daily (Linux/C++):
What I love about it: 1) it's VERY fast, 2) the documentation is phenomenal, 3) the defaults are sane, and the configurable options are well thought out, 4) rock-solid stable.
It's a beautiful piece of software and I've really enjoyed using it. No regrets on the purchase. To me it was worth the $250.
