Re: Sublime Text 3 Updated
#32Sublimetext 3 beta is really stable and fast as hell. I don't know what black magic they use under osx but it is even smoother than http://chocolatapp.com which is a native cocoa based editor with nice builtin code completions for many languages.

#33It's kind of sad that this project has become so dead that an update to a dev build is news worthy.
Is LimeText a viable alternative?

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.
No ST3 is not stable. I can choose between latest beta (3059) which often crash with 'plugin_host' so I have to restart, because none of the plugins works after that. Or I can choose 3062 which doesn't open sidebar tree sometimes, and have to restart multiple times... I think this update didn't fixed that, will see.

#35I love this editor and it makes me sad to see how the project is stalled. In 2002 the investors behind Blender launched the "Free Blender" campaign. They asked for 100,000 EUR as a one-time fee for open sourcing it. At the time the project was dying as a proprietary product. The investors got the money and today Blender is a healthy open source project. I would love to see something similar with Sublime Text. The aut…

Stalled? It just had an update.
It's also in the 3rd version, under development, which came just a couple of months after the 2nd version had been released. He could just have released ST2 and keep it at that version for 3-4 years.
Instead he immediately started development ST3, which had frenetic development in the first months, and has been completely stable for a year or more (I know, I use it everyday, along with several plugins).
And in the forum he even mentioned ST4 base libs he is preparing a month or so ago.

#37I read up on this editor a little bit, but the thing that gets me is: what's wrong with emacs? I don't see anything this editor does that emacs can't do.

#38People talk about the "bus factor", and how OSS would have been a better option.
But far more often I've been beaten from the:
1) "Yeah, core devs moved on now, and nobody cares to maintain this OSS software".
2) "Yeah, core devs decided to rewrite everything from scratch and change APIs and ABIs".

#39Sad to see there is still no word on an ARM build.

It's not what it can't do or how many things more Emacs can do, it's how each goes about them.
Not being tied into a BS-pseudo-Lisp runtime is an essential for me. And not having been designed with 1990 display technology in mind too.
