These changes look like they warrant a 2.x version, not 3. I really like Sublime Text 2.

#132$30 for an upgrade seems a tad rich.
$30 is peanuts for a productivity tool you use professionally

As someone who only used IDE debuggers all his (short) programming career, I was wondering, how do you debug without a visual debugger? I've seen how GDB works, and debugging this way seems much less productive. You don't see your whole source code, and you don't constantly see the values of watched or local variables, etc... Is there a different debugger you use for this task when developing using only a text editor…
> As someone who only used IDE debuggers all his (short) programming career, I was wondering, how do you debug without a visual debugger? I'd ask the reverse of you. Why do you spend time in a debugger at all? For 99% of the bugs logical thinking and a few printfs work faster and better ran blindly running around setting breakpoints and examining values.
This is something I have always wondered about.
Though learning how to use the debugger is a good skill to learn, these days I don't know anyone around me who has ever used a debugger, or even finds a use for it. I think the best tools of our age are really REPL's, which allows you to test out your guesses/hypothesis in the form of snippets.
Personally I have probably used a debugger 5-6 times in my whole programming career, these days I hardly find a use for it.
On the other hand, I find tools like these very useful: https://metacpan.org/module/Devel::NYTProf

The price went from 59 to 70. An increase by 11. I got it wrong to at first.

#135 I get that much value from it daily. http://www.hqew.net/product-data/UC3842 target=_blank>UC3842

I bought it when Sublime Text 2 came out of Beta, which wasn't all that long ago, was it? As somebody that very rarely buys tools, it's hard not to feel a little incensed.
It's $30. What sort of development are you doing that isn't worth $30 for the single tool that allows you to do it? I can't imagine carpenters are incensed when Ryobi brings out a new $300 drill. You either buy the new drill, or you keep the old one. Nobody expects new hardware for free, why software?
Completely agree. If you don't need it, don't buy it. It's that simple. You can't shell out $30 for one of the most important parts of your development environment?

How did you get to the 500% increase?
I think that ST gives good value for the money. Unless you are a developer in second or third world country the price tag is hovering around an hour wage.
And because of the sublimely generous trial model you can use as much as you like it if you happen to be on tight budget.

Sorry, my mistake, I read it wrong. I still don't think these changes warrant the 3.0 version number though.
