And it makes ST another bloody Open Source project, designed by a community, to fall by the wayside and stagnate like Gnome, Emacs, Vim etc...
- edanm 14y agoI agree in some sense. But in another sense, people are still using vim/emacs 20+ years later. Not everyone, which is why I think a modern reboot of them is in order, but I don't think you can say the same for much commercial software from 30 years ago.

- pretoriusB 14y agoSure. The stagnation part was about becoming too slow to move forward. For example, with all it's lisp scripting capabilities and 30+ year history, Emacs is an early nineties editor UI, UX and codebase wise.
