Just the other day, I spent a good couple hours looking for good Linux web development tools. Something that mocked Brackets - this is exactly that. Only thing missing is a quick edit CSS feature, that would drop down the styling for a selected tag.

$70 isn't a lot of money. Is it an hour of your time? Maybe two? If people don't want to pay that's fine, use one of the great open source editors. Saying you don't have the money doesn't make it ok to violate the license. rms works hard to give you emacs for free. The Sublime guys are trying to earn a living.

For the record, I not only paid my $70, but I lost political capital with my manager for forcing her to purchase seats for all the other engineers on our team who saw how much happier I was because of it. I do not advocate abusing the considerable latitude that Jon Skinner has gifted us. But I do believe that he meant to be as generous as possible with the plausible ambiguity of the word "evaluation" as he uses in hi…

If it was clear that ST2 can make your team happier, then I would expect you to gain political capital for the purchase and not lose it!

It is in a country where a programmer makes $450/month.

This is incredible. I was particularly happy when I noticed Chrome filepaths for Mac, Linux, and Windows - some of the more powerful Sublime plugins (looking at you, LiveReload and that really powerful Markdown plugin) were developed by Mac guys who didn't bother porting them to Windows.

Not that I'm angry at the aforementioned Mac guys (it's not like they're getting paid to make me free stuff) but it's nice to see someone go the extra mile.

Not to take away from the package, but I'm somewhat surprised that someone who invested significant work into this is running an unregistered version of ST.

I'm surprised because if you have the ability to create something like this you'd think they'd be able to monetize those skills.

Having said that maybe he/she should be given a free license.

70 US Dollar equals 643.45 South African Rand. To put that in perspective: R650 is a basic grocery shop for my small family for a week. I have a day job, a baby under a year old, another kid reaching teenagerdom and a bootstrapped startup. My wife works part time. I wish more startups and even more mature companies would build in some sort of currency sensitive sliding scale for their pricing models. I know what a ba…

People will always justify this sort of thing - hopefully your startup won't be abused in a similar manner.

It looks like a great start. I don't think it will yet pull me away from a dual monitor with ST2 + Chrome Inspector + Live Reload, but if it is further polished I think it could.

Live Reload?

http://livereload.com/

I'm presuming you're lazy to use Google or don't know what Live Reload is because you have not articulated your question very well.

$70 is a months wage in many parts of the world.

Disclaimer: "World" in the above statement refers to parts of the earth map which are not occupied by North America and old Europe. ;)

Note that this is more then reloading the web-page. It actually seems to be doing hot code-replacement on the fly. I only know this from Java in the debug mode or JRebel. Having this work for Javascript will be really neat... I am feeling more and more confident that my move away from Webstorm to ST2 was the right one...
