No updates since March and version 3 has been in beta for two years. Too bad, Sublime Text started out well but development has clearly come to a screeching halt.
I wish whoever created it would sell it to someone who will continue development and not let it languish.

Huh? By updates he means sublimetext.com/blog/[/quote]
Not sure about that, I’d rather say they mean sublimetext.com/3.
Either way, a few months is nothing compared to the December 2013 to August 2014 break, or the time before the first beta release of ST3 (second half of 2012). That’s why I assumed them to be new.

Sublime Text might not be abandoned, but BOY, is it falling behind atom.io quickly. [/quote]
I don’t think so. I tried atom for a month and gave it a chance. It’s a non usable editor for now. Many many bugs for basic functionalities.
And compared to sublime it’s still very slow. And i don’t think it’s possible to ever achieve a speed compared to sublime based on atoms architecture.
Of course it’s great that atom is open source and the community is way more active in that regard. Maybe i might be able to switch in 1 to 2 years but for now sublime is still the editor to go at least for me.

No, he said “no updates since March”, which clearly refers to the blog, which was last updated - you guessed it - in March.[/quote]
I assume you didn’t actually read the page. Hint: Sublime Text has different release channels.
Time to dust off the ol’ blog.clixel.com/post/63194849457 … the-hammer … written 5 years ago and sadly still relevant.
As iamntz pointed out: sublimetext.com/3dev … it’s been a month!
Seriously, this topic is totally out of place considering the work that has gone into ST3 the past few months.
Amen @natebeaty.
One may not agree with some of Jon’s choices or aspects of development approach, but ST is fast, stable and a daily driver for virtually all my development tasks. Although Atom, Brackets and the like are making progress and certainly have some features lacking in ST, the same can easily be said in reverse. For me, these alternatives are too slow and/or unstable for high-volume development work. Of course, everyone is free to reach their own conclusion.
Jon is well aware of the “big features” that could further elevate Sublime and the bug-tracker is doing a great job of making known all the little bugs and niggles with the product. My only wish is that some attention would be given to addressing some of the longer-standing issues, many of which should be quite simple fixes. Again, they aren’t a showstopper for me; if they are for you feel free to switch.
This thread should be abandoned.
I’ve locked this topic because Sublime is far from abandoned, as evidenced by the recent bout of updates over the last few months.
