Sublime Text is awesome, the main reason I was being stuck with Windows for a long time. But having to use bash and not wanting to pay a lot of money made me learn Emacs.
How many people are willing to pay 59$ for a pretty simple (yet awesome, but not in the sophisticated feature-rich Java-world way) editor? My bet it isn't public information but maybe someone have similar statistics

I don't yet know how Sublime Text compares to TextMate, feature-wise, but TextMate seems to have sold pretty well at (roughly) this price point.
- va1en0k 16y agoI always thought Mac users are more willing to pay than Windows users. Sublime for a long time was windows-only and almost free to use (a "nag" alert is not bothering at all) I don't want to say I doubt anyone will buy Sublime. I wanted to know if it allows to pay for a living or to buy a yacht ;-)
- almost 16y agoI don't understand why a programmer who is prepared to switch editors (a really big thing!) would in anyway be swayed one way or the other by $60.
- va1en0k 16y agowell, I pay like only 1.5x times more for my room. just to compare our costs of living
- almost 16y agoI hadn't considered people living in countries with much lower costs of living/wages, my apologies for making assumptions.
- CWIZO 16y ago$60 can be, depending on where you live, a lot of money. Not everyone lives in USA where $60 is his hourly rate ... Now I know that a text editor is programmer's basic tool, but if $60 represents one week of your salary and you are already on a tight budget, then I can see how one could not afford that.
