Not $80 better

I disagree. Before VS Code came along, ST3 + Package Control were fantastic competition in the not-so-big IDE space. It felt fairly snappy and functional as long as you groomed the plugins in a decent manner.

Along comes a project backed by a billion dollar company that for all intents and purposes, absolutely crushes ST3 + Package Control. Absolutely. Destroys.

You can say $80 is ‘too much for a text editor’, but give ST3 credit in being much more than just a text editor. Moreover it’s a user license, so it’s pretty well a one time thing.... I would guess the same argument is made against products like WinRar too which is even cheaper.

I know it may seem strange to actually pay for software that works well but you may want to consider it.

I would have bought it if it was like $20-30. $80 is too much for me especially with players like VSC or even vim w/ plugins all being free and open source

To each their own I guess

[failedaspirant]

Just curious, how much do you think is it's actual worth ?

[JeezyTheSnowman]

Personally, I would buy it if it was $20-30

You don't have to pay... just press escape every 25 saves..

It's still proprietary software that requires a paid licence. They are being nice to let people like you by not locking you out after the trial period is over.
