I agree with this very much. Both Sublime Text and Sublime Merge are quite cost prohibitive, particularly so for individual users. I've mentioned this here and elsewhere before and often others will attempt to deflect this with getting an employer to cover it or that it isn't much for a developer, but that only holds true for a smaller subset than they realize.
One can buy a copy of Windows 10, an entire operating system, for about the same price (or often considerably less!)

So the customers tells him Look it took god 7 days to build the world and you were making pants for a month... And the tailor answers Yes, but look at this world and now look at these pants... Same here.

- Axsuul 5y agoIt always sucks to see whenever the comparison is made between pricing offered by a small developer team vs. an enterprise with hundreds of thousands. Microsoft could likely sell Windows for free and still profit from the ecosystem network effects and upsells of its cloud offerings.
