I'm running an up to date Archlinux distro. thanks for taking the time to have a look!
If you manage to get it working, would you help a fellow Arch user and submit it to AUR?

#12Wow.. I'm really impressed. Later I'll try it at home to see if it looks this good under KDE to.
Although the price is a bit steep for me (given that I live in Argentina, 59$ represents ~7% of my monthly income), any chance the price is going to go down in the future?. How does this product's price compare with similar ones in the market?, maybe I'm a bit disappointed because of my low income.

#13I've been using Sublime Text daily for the past months, and I'm really, really happy with it. I've jumped from one text editor to another mostly within a few weeks of usage; most of the editors just didn't feel that good (e.g. cluttered UI). The last text editor I actually enjoyed working with was SciTE (http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html). But then I somehow managed to find Sublime Text, gave it a try, and since then I've been using it daily and never went back.
The only critic I have is directed to the missing Print function, but it's only a minor problem for me; it's not like I don't have any alternatives to accomplish this task.
Summa summarum it's a very good text editor IMHO, and I'm always learning a new, convenient function by accidentally hitting CTRL + random key (e.g. CTRL + D).

#14This reminds me of the top post yesterday.

#15Perhaps I'm using it incorrectly, but the Folders option does not seem to be working for me on 32 bit Ubuntu 10.10

#16I've been using Sublime practically from when it was first released (what, 2 years now?). I do ALL of my development in it and I don't have any need to use anything else. The multiple cursor thingy and side-by-side editing are simply amazing. Especially the multiple cursor functionality, I can't say enough praise about it. Plus one awesome "feature" of that is, that anybody watching over your shoulder when you are using it has that dumb "WTF" look on his face. Priceless.
Oh, and no f* icons. That's awesome too. And the built-in spell-checker, and multiple replace, and jump to symbol, and full screen mode, and mini-map, and and and ... really an amazing product (can't believe it's that cheap (and I consider 60 bucks a lot of money)).
Looking forward when v2 gets stable. Thanks Jon, keep up the good work!

#17Sublime Text is awesome, the main reason I was being stuck with Windows for a long time. But having to use bash and not wanting to pay a lot of money made me learn Emacs. How many people are willing to pay 59$ for a pretty simple (yet awesome, but not in the sophisticated feature-rich Java-world way) editor? My bet it isn't public information but maybe someone have similar statistics

I don't yet know how Sublime Text compares to TextMate, feature-wise, but TextMate seems to have sold pretty well at (roughly) this price point.

I always thought Mac users are more willing to pay than Windows users. Sublime for a long time was windows-only and almost free to use (a "nag" alert is not bothering at all)
I don't want to say I doubt anyone will buy Sublime. I wanted to know if it allows to pay for a living or to buy a yacht ;-)

#19Great editor only problem is it doesn't work over remote desktop because it uses 3d accleration.

While Sublime Text 1 used the GPU for rendering, Sublime Text 2 is software only, and so should have no problems over remote desktop.
