$80 for something we make a living on is very reasonable.
I hope to see Sublime eventually released under a free software license. I'd donate to that project.
I took a dive away from Sublime Text over to Atom a few years ago because I was starting up some contract work, didn't want to pay for a copy, and didn't want to continue doing the hokey thing of using a friend's license for work purposes. So I got use to Atom just fine, plus the UI is nice. I mean, Atom is nice. The package management is all there and frequent updates are great, but...I don't write JS/HTML/CSS/PHP.…
However, both VS Code and Atom stand no chance against ST regarding startup time. Thus I keep coming back to ST.
imagine living in a world where a good software like sublime text was free software... i know i know, to monetize selling free software is impossible (when people say they're monetizing selling free software they're actually selling services related to that free software, not the software itself), but one can dream... edit-> some people are confusing the term "free software", i'd like to clarify that i mean free as i…
I honestly don't see any reason for Sublime Text to ever be more free than it is. The unlicensed version works as well as the paid version. The only real usability difference is that it asks you about a license every so often. If that reminder starts to annoy you it likely indicates that you are using ST often enough that you should pay for it. I don't understand why so many developers are willing to pay thousands to…

That said, ST is still significantly better for many other tasks and I end up using it daily, so you should definitely try it out. I'm just saying don't judge it solely on how well it handles Go because you may be disappointed coming from Atom.

Given the value to cost ratio, Sublime Text is essentially free. It costs about as much as most developers make in an hour or two. (Though I suspect if it was a large company it'd be a monthly subscription with cloud syncing and blah blah blah)

Though when I did Python I used one of the PEP8 plugins and the enhanced autocomplete plugin (soo highly recommend it).

A bit dated but some of those plugins are definitely worth it, especially Git Gutter.
Kudos to the ST team for never trying to patent or sue random companies for using the multi-select feature. That feature alone has helped improve so many editors.
I primarily use VSCode as my editor but I used Sublime back in the days. I haven't touched it in a while. How do these two editors compare lately?
