Coming from someone who has never used or tried Sublime Text, how does this compare to Vim in general? It's taken quite a while to grow familiar with Vim, is it worth the learning curve to ditch it now and try Sublime? Are the two really that different? A lot of what I'm seeing looks like things that can be done in Vim, but I might be missing something.

#22> The price for a Sublime Text license key has increased by $11 to $70, the first price rise in Sublime Text’s five year history That's a pretty big jump. Not saying it's not worth it.
The strange part is, I swear I remember buying Sublime Text 2 for $50.
edit: it appears I was right and I just misread: the price increased from $59 to $70.

I'm a vim/textmate user and I found sublimes UX to be lacking polish and the UI overall needed work.
I like textmates uniform OSX style and VIMs uniform terminal style, using the "Tomorrow" theme on both [1].
Although I'm also a part designer so the aesthetics matter to me as much as functionality. If you're measuring functionality I can't imagine sublimes better than VIM.

#24Is it just me or Package Control doesn't work on it?
Probably due to the upgrade to Python 3.

I was thinking the opposite. I'm glad he's charging for upgrades, and charging a decent price for something some developers use all day everyday. I hope this will enable him to continue developing ST. I'm growing fairly dependent on plugins, though -- I hope the new API isn't too hard for plugin devs to upgrade. Although with most plugins hosted on Github these days, compat is just a pull request away.
So you don't think a ~640% pricing increase rather large? I'm not saying the software isn't worth $70. But relative to it's previous price, I think it's a pretty significant increase.
Edit: My mistake - I just can't read. It was an $11 increase in price.

Probably a result of the move to Python 3 for the plugin api?

In ST2 there is Vintage mode, you can use most VI shortcuts I believe.

It's increased BY 11$, not FROM 11$. Certainly not 640%.
