Great release!

- izietto 9y agoBuy another license and gift it to someone ;)
- nkkollaw 9y agoI would take it.
- mattbettinson 9y agoI would love one lol.
- tajen 9y agoIt's already $70. I'm ok paying for my tools (I have a policy of no-piracy at my company, which is really weird in my country – We've bought IntelliJ, Affinity, etc), but paying $70 for a text editor is just above my threshold. I took out my credit card and went to the website thinking I had bought my first license at $50, but when I saw it asked for $70, for a closed-source license, I didn't complete the purchase. I donate 1% of my revenue to open-source, by the way.
- tedmiston 9y agoSorry, but your logic here just makes no sense.
- tajen 9y ago? $70 too much. $50 = ok price. SublimeText no open source. If SublimeText open source, me agree pay $70 for my 2nd and 3rd employee, because open-source = greater good. I reckon paying for open-source could be the other thing that doesn't make sense to you (although you didn't explain much). I reckon it's surprising, but it's entirely ok to charge for open-source and/or add an "Enter your activation key here" locker. You just have to know that your customers can remove the keylock and redistribute your software; but most businesses won't, because they're happy paying for someone's work, and they want support. The GPL even has a full page on this: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.en.html https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.en.html So I might add: $70 for open-source is ok. $50 for closed source is ok.
