That's a pretty big jump. Not saying it's not worth it.
- dorianj 14y agoI was thinking the opposite. I'm glad he's charging for upgrades, and charging a decent price for something some developers use all day everyday. I hope this will enable him to continue developing ST. I'm growing fairly dependent on plugins, though -- I hope the new API isn't too hard for plugin devs to upgrade. Although with most plugins hosted on Github these days, compat is just a pull request away.
- scottbartell 14y agoSo you don't think a ~640% pricing increase rather large? I'm not saying the software isn't worth $70. But relative to it's previous price, I think it's a pretty significant increase. Edit: My mistake - I just can't read. It was an $11 increase in price.
- Zarel 14y agoThe strange part is, I swear I remember buying Sublime Text 2 for $50. edit: it appears I was right and I just misread: the price increased from $59 to $70.
- keidian 14y agoI'm pretty sure you are right, I don't remember it being $11 because I could have afforded that but $50 was harder to do at the time I was looking into it
- scottbartell 14y agoIt was $59 and the price was increased by $11 to $70. I read it wrong at first too.
- edanm 14y agoYou're making a reading comprehension error (it was an incrase of $11 from $59 to $70). Although it's a silly error, I made the same one, and I know that I bought ST for $59. So I think the problem here is with the wording, not with us.
- FooBarWidget 14y agoIt's not a pretty big jump. It's only slightly more than what the author needs to keep up with economic inflation. Assuming 3% inflation per year, Sublime would have costed 59*1.03^5=68.40 USD now.
