I'm just hoping that ST3 will be marked as final soon, so that Skinner may collect the upgrade fees before VSC has completed its take over of the world (of free editors). As a long time fan, I do get - and admire - the perfectionism, but hopefully there's room for dot releases after the 3.0 final.

The creator of Sublime Text tends to go silent for long periods between stretches of activity, which always makes me wonder about the future of the project. It's a shame, since ST is a well-thought-out editor with great attention to detail, and of course the speed argument (compared to Atom and VS Code), while beaten to death, still holds true.

Of course, it's up to the author himself to choose how he communicates, most likely the current method is working out just fine for him :). And the editor works very well, and the updates eventually return. Just saying that some occasional communication regarding the future of the project, or the current development model ("I spend half the year perpetually wasted in Ibiza, radio silence expected"), would be nice!

I've been very active on the forum, Discord, IRC and the Packages repo on GitHub. I don't think the stereotype of Sublime HQ being radio silent holds true any longer.

We don't, however, make blog posts or tweets saying "we're still working on the next build." However, whenever anyone asks on the forum (twitter, etc) I'll be happy to tell you we are still working on the next build! :-)

Thanks for the awesome work! Can we get an image of that new logo and new theme for the impatient/curious people on mobile :D
