- Raphmedia 9y agoIt's not as if they are forcing you to pay for it.
- rpedela 9y agoIsn't Sublime free with a suggestion to pay?
- sicher 9y agoNo. https://www.sublimetext.com/buy?v=3 https://www.sublimetext.com/buy?v=3
- zzleeper 9y agoTBH for something that you probably use daily for your day job, $70 is not a lot at all. And last time I tried, working with large files was a pita on vscode.
- maccard 9y agoI'm not the op, but for me, it's not really worth $70. I use visual studio daily, and just use another editor for odd things - editing a value in a config file etc. 70 bucks is too much for yhatcfor me. Atom/vs code have way too much of a start up time for a quick one file edit, so I use notepad++
- Thaxll 9y agoSome people don't even pay for the Windows licence, so imagine paying for an editor.
- komali2 9y agoWell, you may feel that way, but you are contradicting a direct value statement. The OP stated unequivocally that 70$ was not worth it to them - that's not really for any of us to decide, we can only disagree that it's a lot of money for us.
- coldtea 9y agoWell, let's hope people don't pay for your/our products with the same reasoning in mind, that $70 for a professional tool they will use 10 hours a day throughout the year is "a lot".
- holydude 9y agoIt is a "LOT" compared to "free" products. Defining a "LOT" in software is really tricky but I really agree with the part about a tool you use quiet a lot :-)
