On a related note, check out the top 10 sublime text plugins: http://www.henriquebarroso.com/my-top-10sublime-2-plugins/ Some of my favorites are there! If you haven't done so, check it out too!

Yeah but this is Python 3, so not many will work with ST3.

Are these changes really worth the "3.0" tag? Goto to symbol is great, but all other bullet points taste like what I expected 2 to have once it left beta (basically, speed and not letting plugins crash my session).

Isn't this a clever way to make users buy into a paid upgrade for a stable version of an editor they already bought?

> 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 pretty sure you are right, I don't remember it being $11 because I could have afforded that but $50 was harder to do at the time I was looking into it

My pet peeve with editors is how they handle files changing underneath them. I do this regularly enough (eg I might make a quick change using vi, source control update), there could be ssh or sshfs involved, or another tool might be better for doing whatever it is that I wanted. Emacs has been the only editor that has never lost a change for me. Whenever you try to make a modification it checks the underlying file is…

Wow .. wouldn't it be nice to get the diff lines highlighted in ST3. Then you get theirs/mine option on each line (with an 'all' option of course). Surely not hard to implement (if it's easy to say, it's easy to code, right??)

You can find out the (highlighted) differences between the in-memory buffer and the on disk version one via "Show Unsaved Changes" on the context menu.

"When 3.0 is released, upgrades will be available for $30, or $15 for users who have purchased recently." Why different prices based on when the purchase date?

So that people feel less screwed about the fact that they are paying for the same product repeatedly.

I am disappointed to see that Vintage mode hasn't really been touched at all for this edition. It's what is holding myself (and likely others) back from switching away from Vim. Unfortunately, development of Vintage mode seems to have stopped (the repository hasn't changed for about six months).

When I halted my evaluation of SL because of this issue I did send them feedback about it, but never got a response. I did have some other far lesser concerns like wasted space if you turned line number off.

It was $59 and the price was increased by $11 to $70. I read it wrong at first too.

> I tried SL2 and it quite happily ignored the fact that the file had changed. Weird. I use Sublime Text 2 exclusively across all three platforms. Whenever an open file changes (e.g. I sync to Perforce), it pops up a modal dialog box when I bring that file's tab back into focus. If you're referring to a file that's changed in the background as you're actively editing it, I admit I haven't tried that.

Have an edit window open, and then go in via a terminal/vi and change/save the same file. Then see what happens.
