Sublime Text 3 Build 3080

After years of using it, I finally just bought a Sublime license. It&#x27;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&#x27;ve used in the past. I would say it&#x27;s one of the few pieces of software I&#x27;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&#x27;t get an update notification from 3079:<p><pre><code> If you&#x27;re already using dev build 3079, then there&#x27;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> [1] <a href="http://www.sublimetext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&amp;t=17796" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sublimetext.com&#x2F;forum&#x2F;viewtopic.php?f=2&amp;t=17796</a>

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&#x27;s ) , and if I want to have specific feature like IDE&#x27;s have (auto complete , GUI debugger etc ) , then I can use Qt Creator&#x2F;Code Blocks&#x2F;etc (which I don&#x27;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.

&gt; Sublime Text 3, while still technically in beta, is the recommended version of Sublime Text to use<p>Then stop calling it a beta?

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&#x2F;Sketchup are so fast and easy to use from first day by amateurs and professionals making them very hard to beat.<p>I don&#x27;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&#x27;m reliefed that development progressed again this year. You don&#x27;t want to invest time on a dead editor.

I&#x27;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&#x27;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 &#x27;Goto Symbol (in Project)...&#x27; 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&#x2F;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&#x27;m curious what most people are using it for, since the license clearly states that you need to buy a copy for professional use.

Huzzah, the project is still alive! I assumed it was abandoned a long time ago and switched to Atom, but I hope Sublime 3 comes out soon.

Since jps is very active again, you should post your feedback here if you feel strongly about it &#x2F; or have found bugs: <a href="http://www.sublimetext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&amp;t=17796" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sublimetext.com&#x2F;forum&#x2F;viewtopic.php?f=2&amp;t=17796</a>

OT: What are some tips (or plugins) to be more productive on ST3?

I still have issues on my desktop where sometimes I can&#x27;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&#x27;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&#x27;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:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sublimetext.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;articles&#x2F;sublime-text-3-beta</a>

Why is this news? We&#x27;ve been getting builds of Sublime 3 costantly for way over a year now.

I want to buy a license for Raspberry Pi.

Comment

Ctrl + Shift + B Run Command has been removed, What the hell.!!

Ctrl + Shift + B<p>Run Command has been replaced with &quot;Build With&quot; command, Why wasn&#x27;t it was kept at its place and additionally &quot;Build With&quot; was introduced? Some disturbance is created.

Honestly, I&#x27;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&#x27;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!
