#182...what I'd kill for in ST would be a nice code browser that also properly shows nested function in Javascript and other languages that support them (like Idea does). It really makes a difference if you're trying to make sense of some else's messy code base and you happen to be a visual thinker like me.

#183Here's what I'd love someone to organize: A Kickstarter campaign to raise enough money to pay the ST developer to make ST open-source. If ST becomes open-source, that solves one of the biggest issues many people have with ST, especially those coming from a vim/emacs background. This is something I know I would pay for, and I believe others would as well.
How much would you be willing to pay and how much do you think it'd take? The sublime text package manager has been installed 1.1 million times. Lets assume 10% of those are to a unique paid user at $60. That's $6 million right there. Sublime Text's popularity is only rising and if not a single update were released can expect good sales for several years.
What do you think the odds are that Sublime Text sells a million licenses in the next 5 years? I think the equation solves itself from here.

> I'm a Sublime Text 2 owner, but the continued lack of a Linux/ARM build nor any announced plans for the same mean I won't be upgrading. Damn! There goes the whole of the Linux/ARM community!
Wow that's a helpful response :/ ARM devices are happening.. without having seen your codebase I can't speak for how hard it'd be to build for a new target, but given that you're targeting win32 and posixy systems already it seems achievable. Wouldn't you much rather be the badass that works everywhere than snrk at a growing niche?
I don't think pretoriusB is Jon Skinner.

Textmate 2 is open source now and I've been using it as my primary text editor for the last couple of months. It's become really solid and it's definitely worth a look (if you're on Mac).

#186I'm looking forward to this, but right now the find anything menu is crashing all over the place for me on OS X 10.8.2
I'm confident they'll sort it out and I'm happy to pay them $30 when they do, but it looks like I won't be beta testing for a while. :/

You must not have an SSD yet. I highly recommend them.
I'll second that. I put an SSD into a 'poor performing' laptop as a stop gap before buying a new laptop. I still haven't bought that new laptop 2 years later.
I used an SSD to breathe a second life into the late '08 iMac I'm typing this on.

If you have an old drill and buy a new one, you own an old drill and a new drill. If you have old software and update it, you only have the new software. In the first case, the value of your goods and of their use to you is more than just one drill. In the second case, you end up paying more than the price of the newest software, for just the newest software. From this, one could make the argument that the most fair…
By that argument, the best strategy is to hold off buying any software indefinitely until you are absolutely sure that there will be no future paid updates. That doesn't work.
I don't see why that argument equals that strategy. It's an argument for expecting a specific price, not for waiting for a specific product or service.

Here's what I'd love someone to organize: A Kickstarter campaign to raise enough money to pay Microsoft to make Windows open-source. If Windows becomes open-source, that solves one of the biggest issues many people have with Windows, especially those coming from a Linux background. This is something I know I would pay for, and I believe others would as well.
Is that a reasonable comparison? No.
Re: Sublime Text 3 Beta
#190Installed it on windows 8, but lots of things started to fail. The sidebar was lagging, package manager didn't work, files opened blank randomly from an ftp server, and finally, it messed up my ST2 installation. I'll wait for a stable.
