Should I pay for Sublime 2 now, or wait for 3?

#1

At the suggestion of a friend, I installed version 2 on my macbook a few months ago. I tinkered with it for a few minutes, then stopped using it (I also use Textmate). Now I’ve dusted it off and find it very useful. I was thinking of paying for a license, but am wondering if I should wait for version 3 to come out of beta. I assume there is an extra cost to upgrade from 2 to 3… Any suggestions?

A license is valid for Sublime Text 3, and includes all point updates, as well as access to prior versions (e.g., Sublime Text 2). Future major versions, such as Sublime Text 4, will be a paid upgrade.

so no reason not to buy a license now

So just buy the license for version 3 and I can use it with 2 for the time being… Cool.
Thanks

I would highly recommend using version 3 over version 2.

I second what wbond says. I use the latest dev build daily, and have no issues.
