I see lots of comments from people saying that after years of usage they just recently bought a license. I'm curious what most people are using it for, since the license clearly states that you need to buy a copy for professional use.

I also have zero doubt that people have been using it for professional purposes in violation of the license.
After years of using it, I finally just bought a Sublime license. It's about as close to perfect as an editor gets for me - fast, stable, powerful, extensible, portable, and very low cognitive overhead. Kudos to the Sublime folks.
I'm the opposite - bought a license years ago but don't actually use it for much except plaintext. In my experience the core editor is fast and rock solid, but I think every single extension I've tried has been somewhere between glitchy and completely broken, and debugging/fixing them has soaked up more time than they'd save if they worked perfectly. Part of the problem may be that extensions seem remarkably keen to…
Every lint extension I've seen seems to drag a full install of whatever the popular implementation of the language is.
Sorry for bring this up , but this is my honest question , why should I use sublime ? what is specific about it ? Let me explain , If I wanna text editor there is Emacs ( and vim for vim user's ) , and if I want to have specific feature like IDE's have (auto complete , GUI debugger etc ) , then I can use Qt Creator/Code Blocks/etc (which I don't need , Because I am not IDE user) , then Why should I use sublime , It d…
If you're happy with emacs or vim then you probably shouldn't use it. Many people aren't comfortable with those two or prefer a mouse based approach without the overhead of an IDE in which case Sublime is a pretty good choice with lots of customizability and available plugins. Edit: For me I do my coding/most everything in vim but if I get a new project I have to learn about I find it much more easy to navigate an un…
Earlier quoted context omitted.
IMHO, sublime is a lazy yet flexible editor, it has very fancy out-of-box experience, you don't have to download a lot of stuff from the internet and make your own customizations before you can finally gets started with what you intended to do few hours earlier. I know that both vim/emacs have very handy package manager, but they don't ship with vim/emacs.
Emacs's package manager does come with Emacs, starting with some recent version (I don't know which version, though).

Personally I wasn't convinced until I also tried out the "Sublime SFTP" plugin.. I'm never going back.

OT: What are some tips (or plugins) to be more productive on ST3?
Learn how to use multiple selections. On OS X CTRL + SHIFT + UP/DOWN will create a new cursor on the next line up or down. And you can CMD + LMB-click to insert a new cursor anywhere. I cannot count how much time this feature saves me.
Aside from being able to simultaneously write in multiple places, you can copy-paste across multiple cursors; highlight 5 variables, copy, create 5 new lines with cursors, paste. Each line will have one of your copied variables. Try using Find with regex and alt+enter to select all matches with separate cursors.
Many plugins also support or add onto this feature. I love TextPastry to easily insert number ranges and patterns across multiple cursors.
