As a currently happy Sublime user, my issue is that there has been almost radio silence on the project. My license is up soon and I am seriously considering not renewing if there is not any movement on _any_ development soon. There has been one news/update post in the past 1.5 years. The most recent was November 2022 and then May 2021 before that. I would appreciate any sort of update, and I would also appreciate being told if the project is going to be abandoned.

> As a currently happy Sublime user, my issue is that there has been almost radio silence on the project. My license is up soon and I am seriously considering not renewing if there is not any movement on _any_ development soon. So, you are a happy user but you also want active development. What are you looking for, precisely, that needs to be developed? I've been a Sublime Text user since ST 1, and I've used it as my only editor for years. ST4 added nice things like automatic theme switching, but for everything else it's feature-complete for me. Is there something you're missing?

There was a blog post about ST4 in 11/2022[1] indicating Build 4142. My current version is Build 4143 so there's been at least one other one since. Personally, if it keeps working (and boy does ST keep working), then who cares if it's not actively developed? I know at some point it becomes a problem, like with TextMate back in the day, but we're pretty far from that.
