They don't enforce paying for the editor. Those users may or may not be actually paying. You're right that it does seem like they could afford more staff. But its also pretty clear the guy who created it wants to write code and not deal with the other parts of being a "company" (see lack of public responses/updates). He created it, so he can market it/develop it as he sees fit.
I admire what he's done, and respect his choice if he's really not expanding because he likes to code and doesn't want to deal with running a business. But I also now use Vim because I didn't trust Sublime's future.
- codexon 12y agoI tried it and there was a pop up box every few minutes. It is unusable without a license.
- Cthulhu_ 12y agoI use it full-time without a license and only get it twice or thrice a day at best (and the esc key is quickly hit); 'unusable' is a bit harsh.
- codexon 12y agoWell I saw it pop up twice within a matter of minutes. Popups cause a huge break in my concentration especially when I am coding so it is unusable to me.
- levosmetalo 12y agoDoes having pop-up box once in a few days really makes it unusable without a license?
- joesb 12y agoI think the pop up's counter is when you save, so if you have the habit of saving very often (as I do), it could be annoying. But I still find it usable since it's not arbitrary pop up during typing or navigating.
