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 wor…

Sorry that happened to you. We've since improved our updater to avoid this happening again, but your loss of trust is understandable. Hopefully downgrading back to ST3 was not too big of a hassle.

ST4 has full backwards compatibility for plugins, keeping the same python 3.3 ST3 shipped with, so I'm surprised your setup broke. ST3 licenses were also fully transitioned to ST4, so any license less than 3 years old covered the initial ST4 release.

Does ST4 require a license? I'm still on 3 and I know it doesn't require one.

This looks like a beautiful tool, but I'm not sure why I would use this instead of the Git integration in VSCode, and the CLI in VSCode's terminal? I can't really imagine using a workflow that would force me to use a different GUI for commits, diffs, merges, etc.

I'm a paying user. The ability to diff across two commits/branches. I still have to flip over to GitHub if I want that kind of view.

I use SM (and paid). Just select both commits, regardless of branch, and the diff is shown.

Thanks! That seems to work!

I used ST since v2, and SM since the release. Sublime Text used to be my IDE for Python/C++/Go development. But later I switched to IntelliJ, and now Sublime Text is naked/pluginless editor for me, that I am ok to pay 100 every 3 years. I love the product.

I use Sublime Merge only as a diff tool, or a review tool before the commit. Love it as well.

GitUp is an open source altetnative. Probably less feature rich than SM but powerful enough to be efficient. https://github.com/git-up/GitUp

open source or not, because it's macOS-only, it's less available to developers than alternatives

Sublime Text has always required a license, but has an unlimited trial period with a nag popup.
