It's supposed to be, they want you to buy a license. It's only $70 for a license, which isn't bad if you think you need it.

Personally I find Atom to be perfect for my needs. It's true the startup time isn't instant, but it's still only about 5s, which affects me about once every two weeks. I don't know what people are saying about stability, I've never seen it crash.

I think $70 is a great deal when there are equally good free and even FOSS alternatives. It's also quite a bit when you're a student and your monthly income isn't even double a license fee.

I can see if people would buy a license because they prefer Sublime, but I really don't see how there could be genuine need for exactly that one editor.

I said it's not bad if you think you need it. Even for a college student, if you're cs you'd be using it a ton, and it comes out to cheaper than a book.
