Sublime is more or less in the same state it was for a long time now. Closed source and with a single developer that hardly qualifies as active. Combined with a Forum of intense fanboys and some kind of "salesperson" - both with no connection to reality. There were two (?) recent updates, but not significant and already there were talks about Sublime 4 being a thing. Version 3 was already mainly a number change, as will 4 be with the obvious money grab. So there's just hoping for a wonder to happen. There's obviously something wrong with the dev, be it loss of motivation or whatever could strike a single human being. That's pretty much expected and the reason this Project needs to be open sourced or stand on more stable foundation (more devs). They need to understand that a closed source editor without active development is a death sentence. People are hesitant to use it because of its unknown future, which hurts the userbase and the ecosystem (packages etc). Which is a shame, because Sublime could easily be the best editor IMO. Emacs is primitive, as is Vim to a lesser extend. Atom, while interesting and with potential, is unusably slow. Sublime is modern, blazingly fast, is reasonably customizable, has intuitive controls and could be the unchallenged #1 if the dev just got some sense
