#32I paid for it after I got paid for writing code for the first time. Seemed like the decent thing to do. I was also considering starting a screencast series, and having an editor that wouldn't nag me for a license in the middle of a video seemed important.
Same here. Used it for free while studying and open source projects. Bought it as soon as I got a paying job, coincidentally coding in sublime. Fantastic tool. Fantastic community.

#40I've been using it for many years now, and have paid for it at some point. It is a tool that makes me so productive, and the only one with python plugins. I happen to know some python, so I can fix extensions that don't work without having to wait for a fix from elsewhere. Also, the possibility to write my own is invaluable. Paying for sublime text was something I have never regretted.
