#2It looks like a neat editor, but it's a shame it's (as of yet) closed source. Especially in today's world of dozens of useful products springing up every few months and going inactive shortly thereafter.

What are your thoughts on something like Sublime Text? That's a product which is highly praised by the community, yet remains closed source.

I suspect that, like textmate and unlike vim/emacs, it will be abandoned for the most part.
