Many kudos and one day I will definitely buy a LICENSE.
is everyone just going to ignore that awful tab bar at the top?
Personally I'm not too big of a fan of the styling there, but it's far from a critical issue.

Thanks for building a great editor that just works and is fast enough. It has the lowest barrier to entry and is mostly free due to unlimited trial. 5 years ago, when I started writing code professionally, Sublime made things so easy because I didn't have to learn an IDE to write code. Many kudos and one day I will definitely buy a LICENSE.

There's a real danger I think in relying on a proprietary software program for something so key as text editing. For many developers, their editor will be with them for their whole career. Proprietary software has a tendency to not stick around. I hope to see Sublime eventually released under a free software license. I'd donate to that project.
I used to think that, until I discovered the IDEA suite (PyCharm, PHPStorm, etc). And many devs use Windows as well. The OS is no less important than the text editor. I still use VIM often enough to stay proficient with it, mostly via SSH, but I'll happily use the closed source IDEA editors when they are available.
Depends what you're doing, I suppose. If you're doing web development, Python, Ruby, PHP, C, JavaScript, etc... I don't think being on any particular OS is more important than your tools.

I use vim and atom, but most of my fellow developers don't want to use atom because it's heavy and slower than st, vim and emacs are out of question for them i think because things like the amount of work needed to prepare all the plugins to get the same functionality as the other tools.
Did you know that there are rich distributions that have done that for you? You can literally install those with a few simple steps and have fully functional super environment. Key words for Google search: Emacs Prelude, or Spacemacs

Not when Atom is pretty much the exact same thing but open-source and free.
Then use Atom and don't comment The parent comment is valid for every software in the world, if you make your living with a 80$ software and you don't want to pay for it, you have big issues

But it's not that great at several GB :(
I'd guess most editors do. Have you found an editor that doesn't?
Sublime Text is imo near perfect, only thing I miss is the ability to edit multi-GB files (on a reasonably priced laptop).. sadly I believe it will be near impossible for Sublime Text to ever support this.
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.
multi-select is by no means an ST invention.
