I love Sublime. It is cross platform and has a great array of plugins from the community. I have used it for years. I know plenty of keyboard shortcuts and I am productive using it. It never crashes on me, but maybe I am just not an edge case user of it. Whenever version 3 is released for purchase, I do not anticipate having any problems getting my employer to pay for a license and I don't mind paying out of pocket i…
Excited to hear news from Sublime team! I tried the new beta: it kinda breaks fonts in old themes (I use spacegray) but the new Adaptive theme looks pretty (I wish I could reduce tab bar height, though). Also enjoyed switching UI and syntax themes via palette. Overall looks great but for now I'll stick to ST3 stable release. My #1 feature request is Sidebar API, you know, for version control integration.

Release or not release is just a name. You shouldn't let that be a factor. In my experience it is absolutely stable and as bug free as software can be. However, I'm not sure how well maintained it is. I fear all the time that the author, jps, has quit, but then every few months he has a development sprint and releases a new version. I'd rather have it permanently called "beta" but a minor update every month, than one…
That's true. I've been using Sublime for years and I've never had a bug or a crash. It pretty much perfect. And it's blazing fast. I actually even use its fuzzy search to search my harddrive sometimes. Because I haven't found an easy app for Linux that works like Search Everything on Windows.
If Sublime only had definite release! It's wonderful GUI editor! I stopped using it years ago when I switched to Vim and Emacs, but if it gets released I will buy it for sure, at least to have it on my work machine. I like editing text in it, everything is so smooth and well looking, and it doesn't feel bloated. And I just hate all those Electron based editors, no matter how much incrementally they get better from mo…
For vim users, there's also the ActualVim[1] plugin, which uses neovim's headless mode for processing. I've always been somewhat disappointed by vintage mode / vintageous in ST, and while ActualVim still has some issues, it's definitely promising. (It even works on Windows now! Though I couldn't quite get my plugins running yet) [1]: https://github.com/lunixbochs/ActualVim

Instead of writing blog posts as a vital sign, maybe it would help to offer some regularly updated pre-defined "bundles" of ST together with package sets for a certain audience (JS/TS/Python developer, etc.). Many packages have a higher update frequency, so even when there is no new ST build it would make sense to also update such bundles on a more regular basis (I know packages are updated automatically -- but this…
> While the package control setup is already pretty straightforward, it is still rather confusing for new users that they have to manually install such a 'basic' feature If that confuses you, why bother trying to code at all?

That's true. Sublime 3 never felt like "beta" software. But as somebody said below, I am afraid of people quitting and leaving it to die slowly (like TextMate died) and that's the reason why I was hesitate to buy it for so long. Nobody guarantees if the developers drop the ball for some hypothetic reason thing will go open source, even that is not guaranteeing anything (again TextMate's case).
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.
Sublime fans and VSC fans are almost disjoint sets...
Would be curious to know what "fans" are you talking about.
