Sublime Text is close to being the only piece of perfect software. I have so much good will for the Sublime team that I'm tempted to buy it without even trying it. I don't think the prices are comparable to other software since this will be a qualitatively different software-using experience. I think people often underestimate in general how much really good software is worth. Most software I regret paying as much as I did for but I would pay at least $300/year for Sublime and likely more if that's what they charged. Dash is another good example of software I get way more value out of than what I paid.
