Please note that this is a dev build of Sublime Text 3. You can only get it by manually downloading or checking for updates using a dev build. The most recent stable build of ST3 is from December of 2013.[1]

Dev builds are alpha-quality and generally unsuitable for everyday use. The current build will change permissions on any file you save.[2]

I've almost given up with Sublime Text. I have a bug with the Linux version on xubuntu which causes the application window to shudder when I scroll. It's something to do with smooth scrolling.

I can't register at their forums as it requires a keyword which you can only get by emailing keyword@sublimetext.com - I've tried three times and each time I've been ignored. I've also tried email the other ST employee, but been ignored also.

Very frustrating when I've paid for a licence.

It's kind of sad that this project has become so dead that an update to a dev build is news worthy.

Not sure I subscribe to the idea that ST is "dead". The base editor is stable enough for day to day use ("dev" build be damned) and all the extra functionality (i.e. new features) is provided by plugins anyways.

ST could never see another update and would remain a competitive editor for daily use due to its plugin ecosystem.
