Since the auto update for sublimetext to version 4 where I don't have a license for I switched to vscode and never looked back. At first I lost my trust and then I liked vsc more.

That seems strange. ST doesn't even do minor auto-updates for me, let alone upgrading to a major version. Also couldn't you just downgrade?

When Sublime Merge was initially released I liked it a lot. Mostly because of it's snappy speed (like Sublime Text). But since a year or so I'm using lazygit ( https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit ), which at least for me is the best git tool ever.

The two advertisements at the top of the README made me uncomfortable.

A lot of people on HN don't like it when you share your opinion about how an open-source developer monetizes their work. For what it's worth, I agree. I feel like it would be a lot less discomforting if the ads were simply below the actual description of the projects.

I have been using Sublime Merge for a while now, and I find it very useful. I am a visual and spatial type, so I find the the way the information is organised there invaluable. I know I lose points for not being an ultimate shell dweller, but the experience just does not compare. The only downside is that sometimes you cannot be sure which commands it will execute for a given functionality, and to do more specific th…

I'm curious if you have a specific example of this? We've put a fair amount of effort into having the same nomenclature as git and add tooltips that contain the command itself where possible.

I'm using Sublime Text since shortly before 2.0 and Sublime Merge since day one. Yet, I'm slowly losing interest in ST because of lacking language integrations and probably won't do any future paid upgrades. However, Sublime Merge is still essential for me and a no-brainer.

It's the same company. His trust was for the company not just for a product

Trust was lost because they... released a new version of their software?

Ok for context: You got st3 with a license, and maybe plugins. St3 got regular updates to new minor versions. They brought the st4 update like the other minor version updates.

Destroyed the whole st ide setup (plugins didn't work for st4) And st3 licence can't be used for st4 (you get the st4 licence if you bought st3 some months before)

If I use st for private stuff that would be annoying, but as I use it for my work that was money.

Not doing much dev work at the moment... In the rare event I need to do some file comparisons or git commits I use meld. How does it compare to more novel tools like this? Any tools that consider the syntactic structure of code for diff/merging?

No we don't have automatic updates. The issue was that our updater did not warn customers that their license would not cover the newer version before updating, so those with more than 3 year old licenses were met with a "LICENSE UPGRADE REQUIRED" in the title bar. Sorry to those who were affected by this, the loss of trust is understandable.

We've since added that functionality to the updater. We also don't nag paying customers regardless of whether their license applies.
