Absolutely, what an excellent tool. One of those one-time purchases I almost wish was a subscription so I can be sure the team keeps working on it.
I actually understand git better because of Merge. It's great because it provides a great interface into git, but it doesn't _hide_ git from you; it explains it quite a well.
I suppose a newcomer to git might find Merge intimidating, but for anyone with a bit of experience I think it's quite an awesome power tool with a rare balance of handy abstraction and transparency around git itself.
- EduardoBautista 4y agoLicenses are valid for three years of updates. So, it is a subscription, just a very long one with a fallback version when the subscription ends.
- nkozyra 4y agoThen the software isn't a subscription, the updates are. This is also kind of how the Jetbrains stuff works and it's far less user-hostile than making someone pay in perpetuity to simply use the software.
- steve_adams_86 4y agoI can't imagine the Sublime Merge version I have today won't still be super useful once my license expires, so for a lot of people, buying a new copy might not seem particularly compelling. It's also so cheap (or it was when I bought it) that it's waaayyyyy less expensive than any 3 year subscription I've ever seen – something like $2/month.
