That doesn’t make it any less deserving.

Ok, here we go…

  1. Sublime Text, which had not been updated for a few months stood the test of time, because of how solid it is. It was voted (by the public) to be one of the App of the Year shortlisters.
  2. Jon and co. didn’t do anything for this, I represented them on their behalf. There was little contact between us, other than just “yeah, you can represent us.”

So, what’s the problem again?

A little contact from him on the status of his product would be nice.

You can find the status of the product here

The prize was for the „app of the year”, not for „the most updated app of the year”.

There is anyone that really things that Jon will see all this trolls and will say: „Oh, no, sbauer is not happy with status! Quickly, i’ll compile a new version and reply to him!”

But the above two points above is the problem. Are you dense?

  1. It’s not updated, and you falsely claims it so solid. There’s a huge amount of bugs (sift through the thousands of unanswered forum posts)

  2. The fact HQ doesn’t even care to show up on an award ceremony shows they don’t care.

This is a dead product. One with an award.[/quote]

Out of thousands registered members in the forum, just few dozens (all with 1 to 10 posts max) are complaining about lack of stability or blocking bugs no one seems to be able to reproduce or points to sublime itself… I really wonder who is dense on here…

Are you jealous in some way about sublime? Were you in race against sublime for that award? What exactly have you to complain about something totally unreleated with the development?

It seems you, and all the other few-poster-troll-alike people on this thread just have one single thing to say: “it’s a dead project”.
Aren’t you happy about how Jps is running this project? then move to Atom, Brackets or, even better, make your own editor and show us how a project should be run…

  1. It’s not updated, and you falsely claims it’s so solid. There’s a huge amount of bugs (sift through the thousands of unanswered forum posts). All the wonderful anectodes about how nice ST is doesn’t matter, since there’s a lot of people struggling who doesn’t get answers on the forum and doesn’t get support mail replies (I can attest to that fact - I paid up, yet I get zero feedback from support@sublimetext.com). Don’t come dragging with the eula - a company has a moral obligation to help out paying customers. Otherwise it’s just a crappy company.

  2. The fact that HQ doesn’t even care to show up on an award ceremony shows they don’t care anymore.

This is a dead product. One with an award.[/quote]

Here is my 2 cents:
Shut the fuck up and get the fuck out.

  1. It is being updated, there was an update not too long ago.
  2. Everybody needs a break, it happens the guy needed one.
    ST3 is not a dead product, if you don’t know what you are talking about, shut up.
    If anything, the award is justified, sublime text is still one of the best editors out there, and much much better than atom, which had years and year and years of development.

Since he started name calling, I thought he deserves one too.

Jps is in Australia, the awards were in London - that’s hell of a long way to travel for a few hours.

So what are you trying to say here, that ST3 is a bad product and we should try something else?
Even if it was a dead product, I don’t care, I like it, it runs stable on my system,
It’s so tweakable with so many plugins that there’s allways a solution.
I don’t see the problems you have and i sure don’t think there is a “moral obligation to help out paying customers”.
Basically you have 2 options: 1) use it as it is and be happy or 2) move to something else and claim a refund.
If you don’t do either you’re just a troll.

Well, I think you are wrong here, i give one example: sublime text is announced as “a sophisticated text editor for code, markup and prose.”

I use sublime only for writing prose and bought license for Sublime2. Soon i noticed that there is a line break bug in ST2 … (discussed in the forum). Well - for prose writing this is a very annoying bug, this is clearly a no go and should be fixed as one may of course expect the basic functions of a text editor to work properly. But it never happened so i have been forced to use ST1.4 for a long time instead of ST2 … now, in sublime 3 this bug is gone, but i have to buy a new license someday for ST3 … so, is this fair? I dont think so, i could well use sublime2 for writing prose if there wasnt that bug.

Sorry … i believe there IS clearly a moral obligation to help out paying customers, especially if some things have been promised before.

Well, i make no big thing out of it, i will pay license for st3 because i love sublime in general and i want to support it, its my favourite software.

But again: some things should be fixed.

Because ST3 is not released yet, the license you can buy nowadays is basically for ST2 but it will work with ST3.
This has been so for quite some time now, so chances are your license will work with ST3 as well.

@tito: i think it’s related to word wrapping; there are some situations where things aren’t necessary in a really good shape. Take a look a the semicolon or the double dashes:

(and this is just a quick find, i’m sure that dudes that use to do heavy writing can come up with better examples)
