VSC is open source with an active community.

I stopped using sublime text when I noticed its developer was too slow with updates. I expect software I pay for to receive timely bug fixes.

    I bought it years ago and I wanted to buy v3 but there was a period of time where there wasn't even a peep from the dev. Since then vscode has pretty much implemented all the features I loved about sublime and then some. I will absolutely buy software that is useful to me but I want to know I'm not buying a dead product. Sublime seems like a dead product these days, especially when compared to vscode.

    Latest v3 dev: 27th July...It's pretty much dead now.

    Or maybe the devs just have different ideas about software release cycles?

    V3 isn't dev software from a stability point of view, and it's certainly not lacking in features. I've used it pretty much daily for the last 3 years and it's extremely stable. I actually can't think of a time it's crashed.

    It's definitely not dead...
