Did ST3 development stopped?

[JacobWille]

They have completely different release cycles, and have completely different amounts of manpower behind them.

What, you think, is the release cycle of Sublime Text?

Once in a blue moon, containing 1 hrs worth of work

Nothing wrong with switching to Emacs from ST, provided you’re still as productive in Emacs (though I personally can’t stand its 1970’s UI and keybindings, but that’s a separate issue ).

You can change them. [/quote]

True. One advantage of the editor basically being a LISP interpreter that happens to ship with a bunch of LISP programs that implement an editor is that you can rewrite the whole darned thing if you were so motivated. Aquamacs Emacs on OS X comes pretty close to doing so, for example. There is also a CUA mode for other versions of emacs, but last I tried it, it seemed fairly half-baked.

Admittedly Emacs will probably - and hopefully - never have a HTML5/CSS/JavaScript live preview. That’s simply not what it’s made for.

Hey, I like having a live preview mode in my editor. I actually use it more for Markdown and AsciiDoc instead of HTML, but it’s still very convenient.

Markdown is one of the very few things for which I like to have a separate dedicated editor around. One size fits all? Not me then.
Atom lacks a good keyboard control.

Yeah, I use multiple editors as well, depending on what I’m doing.

I haven’t noticed an issue with Atom’s keyboard control, but maybe it’s just how I use it.

Btw, most of those many people are new users to forum, less than 5 posts. As I said earlier, it’s very interesting how people that are using and recommends Atom register to this forum just to let us know that ST is dead.

While I don’t know that you were explicitly referring to me, there’s a difference between “doesn’t post very often” and “new user”; I joined the forum in mid-2012, and I’ve been using Sublime Text since the release of 2.0 on the Mac. I tried the betas before that, but at the time I was resistant to ST’s “500 Preference Files of Bartholomew Cubbins” approach. (I’m still not a huge fan of that, really.) And I don’t find Atom usable for much of anything yet; my last post was answering someone else’s question about what Atom may theoretically offer over ST.

Look – I find myself going back to ST for coding frequently, because nothing else quite does what it does for me. I’m not advocating that everyone run away from it. But in 2011 there were a lot of us sticking with TextMate because, sure, the sole developer was largely incommunicado and seemed to be awfully late in delivering even modest updates, but nothing else quite did what it did for us. Then something else did come along: ST2. And TextMate’s community crumbled in very short order. It’s still being developed (from all appearances more actively than Sublime, ironically enough) but it has very little mindshare left and I can’t imagine that Macromates is a viable business anymore. Yet if TM2 had gone into alpha two (or even three) years before it did, it’s possible a lot of us wouldn’t actually be here now. (Yes, and we wouldn’t be running around preaching doom, ha ha.)

And, again, yes, I get it. It’s not like the existing builds of ST3 have stopped working, it’s not as if wbond has stopped working on Package Control, the community is still here and vibrant even if they’re grinding their teeth, yadda yadda.But if the pattern is similar – and I genuinely think it is – then the shift from “God, Chipotle, you’re being such a gloomcookie” to “oh, Sublime is so 2014, we’re all using Atom now” will happen quietly, subtly, and surprisingly quickly.

tl;dr: I’m not being a downer jerk because I want Sublime Text to fail. I’m being a downer jerk because I don’t want it to.

Not even a little. There are some users that I suspect they create multiple accounts just to be jerks.

Probably you created a user 3 years ago just to start messing around!

I wish I was that organized!

I really liked your post and I agree!

[karstenk]

For me, Sublime is dead But i will use it because i bought it and theres not alternative for me out there

[tux]

Why would you anyway?

I have exactly the same feeling. Also agree to some earlier posts, Python is much better than JS!
