Or people are running in on an operating system that is 12 years old (Windows XP). Or some graphics vendor released a buggy version that interacts with the usage of OpenGL in a weird way. Sometimes it is because someone has a corrupted library on their machine, or they are running an unstable graphics driver. Sometimes those issues are people bending the intended functionality. But hiring good people takes time, and everyone wants their pet issue addresses with the editor. Jon has clearly been working on the issue - he’s hired at least two people recently. So there are probably at least 400k+ users using Sublime Text.Īt this scale, it gets really hard to keep your head above water. Not everyone who uses Sublime Text installs Zen Coding. There are probably at least 250k unique Zen Coding users.

The most popular package has over 300,000 install operations. There are over 1.3M unique IPs that have performed package install or upgrade operations with Package Control. This is hugely magnified with Sublime Text. I can even keep up with email support issues for my packages, and I know that a small fraction of ST users use SFTP or SVN. At a certain point, you just can’t support everyone. Once you get to the scale the Sublime Text has, there will always be edge cases and systems that things crash weirdly on. This is an interesting issue that I run into myself with the packages that I sell. So instead of the continuous outrage over the lack of updates for 2 (which I would guess are not forthcoming) either deal with it or write to the developer for a refund if you’re so unhappy with the product.įWIW, I have been using 3 since it came out and have only run into a handful of crashes. I have NO way of knowing of course, just a guess. Sometimes that’s what’s needed to fix things.

My guess would be there are some things that weren’t working as they should (although I have never run into any serious bugs with 2 personally) and to improve the product the developer figured that a major update was the way to go, hence the 3 beta. Since the beta period for 2 was so long, it was like having a stable version that had very frequent updates despite the beta label. It’s true, as someone else pointed out, that the labeling of beta and stable for the product has been unfortunate. I think it’s pretty safe to say you’re not going to see any updates for the “Stable Sublime Text”.
