After years of using it, I finally just bought a Sublime license. It's about as close to perfect as an editor gets for me - fast, stable, powerful, extensible, portable, and very low cognitive overhead.<p>Kudos to the Sublime folks.
Besides Firefox, Sublime Text is the application I use the most in my day-to-day professional life. It is faster and easier to configure than any other code editor I've used in the past. I would say it's one of the few pieces of software I've encountered that is a joy to use.<p>If you also use ST regularly and can afford it, I highly encourage you to support development and buy a license right now.
FYI For the people running dev-builds (like myself) and are wondering why they don't get an update notification from 3079:<p><pre><code> If you're already using dev build 3079, then there's no need to update
- 3080 is identical, except it will give update
notifications for beta builds only, rather than dev builds.[1]
</code></pre>

Sorry for bring this up , but this is my honest question , why should I use sublime ? what is specific about it ? Let me explain , If I wanna text editor there is Emacs ( and vim for vim user's ) , and if I want to have specific feature like IDE's have (auto complete , GUI debugger etc ) , then I can use Qt Creator/Code Blocks/etc (which I don't need , Because I am not IDE user) , then Why should I use sublime , It does not fit in my either use cases.It is ide or text editor , If it is just text editor , what it provide which Emacs ( or vim) could not provide ?
p.s. my comment should look like bias opinion , but it is not really. It is just question I have in my mind.
IMHO Sublime is like Sketchup.<p>Certainly there are more powerful tools (emacs and vim - or 3dMAX and Rhino, when comparing with Sketchup) but Sublime/Sketchup are so fast and easy to use from first day by amateurs and professionals making them very hard to beat.<p>I don't use them everyday but I can be quite productive with both. It would take ages to be productive with Emacs or 3dMAX using them only every other week.
I've been running the last stable build happily since August. Running this new build causes all four cores in my rmbp to spin up to 99% repeatedly (Activity Monitor says it's Sublime) and the fans to go wild. Is this happening to anyone else? I had to revert to the previous version which fixed it :(
I used to simply ignore that nag screen, but decided to buy a license of ST3 since I use it every day - best investment in a while. I hope to see a stable ST3 build soon and some nice new features soon :)!
I love the 'Goto Symbol (in Project)...' feature, but I really wish the input would be populated with text you have selected in the editor. This way you could jump to a function/whatever underneath the cursor by doing something like: Cmd-D, Cmd-(Shift-)R, Enter - instead of copy-pasting, or retyping the symbol. I added this to the mass of suggestions in the ST forum, but I guess it has been lost or rejected :(
I see lots of comments from people saying that after years of usage they just recently bought a license.<p>I'm curious what most people are using it for, since the license clearly states that you need to buy a copy for professional use.
Since jps is very active again, you should post your feedback here if you feel strongly about it / or have found bugs: <a href="http://www.sublimetext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=17796" rel="nofollow">http://www.sublimetext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=17796</a>
I still have issues on my desktop where sometimes I can't interact with the text area of sublime using my mouse. I can still use the mouse with the menus and stuff, but scrolling and clicking in the text does nothing and I have to use my keyboard only. Still not sure what is causing this issue as it doesn't happen all the time. The fix is usually just rebooting my PC which is rather annoying.
Does anyone know if the Sublime Text 2 plugins are compatible with version 3? I've never done a Sublime Text upgrade. TIA!<p>Edit: seems like they will need to be ported [0].<p><a href="http://www.sublimetext.com/blog/articles/sublime-text-3-beta" rel="nofollow">http://www.sublimetext.com/blog/articles/sublime-text-3-beta</a>
Ctrl + Shift + B<p>Run Command has been replaced with "Build With" command,
Why wasn't it was kept at its place and additionally "Build With" was introduced? Some disturbance is created.
Honestly, I've never seen another product here getting a post for every minor build! Nice to see such a die-hard fan base! But, please, face the reality - many have moved over to Atom already and are not looking back. Atom is alive, the ecosystem is already huge, atom-shell is getting popular as well. Unless Sublime gets open-sourced, it's in a slow agony. Remember TextMate? It had a huge loyal user base, but who is using it now? It got open-sourced, but a bit too late!
