If Sublime Text development does go off the rails like TextMate 1 did then that'll be my "fool me twice" moment and I'll concede to FOSS tooling advocates.

Well.. already got hit hard by coronasdk before. I refuse to use any non-opensource software / kits.

I love ST. Bought both ST2 and ST3 licenses and never thought it was not worth the money. However, it's getting silent and the maintainer does not really care about taking care of the community. I was hoping that it would not be like TextMate. But I guess I should not be "hoping" for anything when it's about my text editor.

  Pretty sure that's called "mature software".

    Vim is mature software and has 20 years history of not going silent. 7.3 has had about 1300 updates published. and they already have 50 updates since 7.4 was released in August. Mature software doesn't mean done.

    Then why is ST3 still labeled beta?

TextMate 2 is back on track and developed as open source to hedge against potential abandonment: https://github.com/textmate/textmate https://github.com/textmate/textmate

  That's a cool outcome.

  It's pretty decent too. Keep considering moving back to it. Haven't paid for ST3 yet so we'll see.

> If Sublime Text development does go off the rails like TextMate 1 did then that'll be my "fool me twice" momen At some point I was tempted to buy into ST, but after giving it a go, I just decided that I need a reliable toolchain which doesn't change or disappear at the flick of a switch. Little speaks reliable as Emacs or vim does. This new project is open-source, which is definitely an improvement, but I still like the total hackability of emacs.
