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?

I wouldn't argue that its "clever". Its a direct and honest way of asking people to pay for Sublime Text.

I'm happy to pay Jon as long as he keeps cranking out fast, high-quality software. Think of it as a subscription where you still own the software if you want to get out of it.

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).

he will go back to it soon, I think

The editor was already pretty stable, but maybe not the plugins, which are optional. I'd agree that the price is a bit high to upgrade, but for people like me who didn't own it yet, now is a good time to buy.

That's great news - do you have a source (maybe a forum post) for that?

I feel you man. I've been stubbornly sticking to Snow Leopard myself, it works great with my late 2008 MBP.

I'm also holding out for a Mac Pro bump that isn't a pisstake. So I guess I'll bite a few bullets at once.

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

Yes, that what's I was describing. It works just fine. When I tab back to Sublime, I get the " has changed on disk. Do you want to reload it?" modal dialog box. (If there are no unsaved changes in the Sublime buffer that could be clobbered, it just reloads the file silently as you'd expect.)

It didn't work when I tried a few weeks ago. I am running on Linux.

i pay 30$ every month for SAAS apps that provide even less value.

If you didn't like the UI you could install Soda theme: https://github.com/buymeasoda/soda-theme/

I've installed the Tomorrow theme in Sublime which I love in txtmate/VIM and still wasn't a fan.

Soda is a UI theme not a color scheme.
