Well, not exactly with Kick Starter project. And, I believe, most people bought Sublime Text 2 when it was in beta, giving funds to develop the tool to what it was today.

Yep, I was a sucker once for buying ST2 when it was in beta, helping the developer to make a living developing it full-time. This time I'll just treat him how he wanted to be treated, like other software product, let him deal with his financial problem himself until he release the software.
- nicholassmith 14y agoActually you weren't, you were actively supporting the development and helping ST2 get to where it is. Kudos to you. However, it's beta software and if it doesn't work it's beta software, you've got the opportunity to say things aren't working or features aren't right. You're not only investing in the development of the product, you're also getting the chance to be involved in making it the product you want. Needing money to pay bills is a financial problem we all have as well. He's not doing this to be the popular guy, he's doing it to make a product he loves and keep the lights on.
