Will SublimeText + SublimeMerge go open source for right price?

#1

I absolutely hate Sublime Text and merge and have hated them for a long long time. I want them to go extinct and not live on in eternal history as tools our descendants will use. We must put a stop to this now, by making Sublime go open source so it will die a swift death.

What $ would convince Sublime Team to sell out and destroy this piece of crap software?

Nothing wrong with longevity … I use tools aligned with Subl which go back to Macromedia days and earlier

I never understand flame-bait posts like this. What do you get out of it? Do you feel some moral victory by screaming into the wind, and throwing your toys out the pram?

Don’t like these tools? Don’t use them. Just be civil, and walk away.

Don’t you understand him being the only person on earth to be able to judge software quality?

Honestly, there are numerous other software packages I’d wish to die before, ST and SM.

:slight_smile: He is joking. Funny guy.

Especially in the age of AI, good software should continue to be kept closed source rather than open source.

Grow up. It is just software, not something that is going to hurt you. Just change the channel, don’t use it you idiot.

I’m not sure we understood the poster and Sublime Text and Sublime Merge wranging on thin ice with popup dialogs and licensing and then inconvenience on major version change… Most of us know about popular plugin authors not given a license for next version and that is wrong IMHO

I use both Zed and Sublime depending on project, but I don’t use Electron editors

Zed on rust GPUI is still not as fast as Sublime on my laptop

Maybe the secret should not be revield and stay as is (for which I’m fine) as long as it is actively delevoped

We should cut the OP more slack since he has written favourably in past. Who else uses Distraction Free Mode?
Be open minded inquisitors.

He is from Hawaii and I read this (and I’m in U.K.)

Right, distraction free zen mode, can be accustomed separately if one wants

Everything seems perfect until you need to pay next major version, that was my concern

I don’t understand the humor in this post, to be honest.
