I use Kate as my main editor, and I have contributed $100 in the last year to the KDE project. That is a bit more than the cost of a Sublime license, at least.

It is not about cost. It is about freedom. And there is no way I'm giving someone money to take away my software freedoms if I have an alternative. And I will always give the free alternative the money I would have spent on the proprietary one.
- 1971genocide 12y agoI agree, sublime could have been made open source. But compared to the elephant in the room ( VS ), Sublime is mostly open source ( all its plugins are ). Their core could have been made open source. but I think its an act of self-preservation by the creator which I do not have a problem with.
