Sheesh, you'd think ST2 was a clunky, worthless mess from all these comments. Amazing how after the announcement of ST3 the previous version is retroactively seen as broken and needing all these updates. I remember when ST2 was HN's golden child. I honestly don't remember any comments along the lines of "well, it _will_ be good someday" but rather "multicursors, minimap, it's awesome you should use it now!"
I've had a license to ST2 for a long time and was impressed with the constant updates. I remember thinking at one point, "Huh, just realized haven't seen an update for a while", but it was more idle curiosity than anything since the editor worked fine for me.
I'm trying out ST3 and am happy enough with it. Not sure if I'll upgrade when it comes time to pay, but I don't feel like a bait and switch was pulled on me.
I use OS X, so maybe the Windows or Linux versions are buggy? I can't just chalk up all the complaints to entitlement, but at the same time my experience with the editor has been so smooth I don't understand the issues others have been having.
