Ask HN: is the Sublime Text 2 development kind of slowing down?
I must first say I absolutely love Sublime Text 2. Best editor I've used in years.
However, I'm a bit concerned at the current speed of its evolution -- the plugin system is great and lets you improve quite a bit of things, but the core could be improved as well. By reading http://sublimetext.userecho.com/ I feel like things are slowing down a bit. What do you think?
- batista 14y agoI think he (the primary developer) did a crazy push to put out Sublime Text 2, and is now taking a break. That's the idea behind making a product: passive income. You don't expect him to work his ass out day in, day out, do you? That said, I'm fairly certain, after some time development will pick up pace again, for Sublime Text 3 or 2.x.
- runjake 14y agoI think everything is fine. What's the big deal if they slow down a little? Breaks are good. What exactly in the core needs expedient fixing?
- frou_dh 14y agoThe developer posted on the forum recently along the lines of that he's busy working on something larger in scope than what has been typical.
- julien_c 14y agoNice! Any idea what?
- frou_dh 14y agoNope. Thinking about it, I'd actually most like the official documentation to become far more comprehensive. He's obviously a fantastic programmer as evidenced by the product, but is his approach to documentation the not-so-fantastic "meh.. don't really feel like it.." that I'm sure many of us are familiar with?
- swah 14y agoHe seems to work in cycles of lots-of-releases/no releases. I take that as a good sign that he knows how to pace work and won't burnout.
