>Goto to symbol is great, but all other bullet points taste like what I expected 2 to have once it left beta (basically, speed and not letting plugins crash my session).
I bought ST2 without expecting all these features. Taking the effort to add out-of-process plugins? That's more that the TextMate guy has done in all 6 years of dabbling with 2.
On top of that, it has other nice stuff I want. It might be OK calling it 2.5, but it's not a scam by any imaginable stretch of the word.
>Isn't this a clever way to make users buy into a paid upgrade for a stable version of an editor they already bought?
No. Did you find ST2 any less stable than any other editor out there? I use it for a year for working on 3-4 different languages and it never has crashed on me.
So, I appreciate the cynicism but it's misguided here.
^ this reply can be summarized as "turning on the fan to spread shit on everyone else".
This is a discussion about sublime, not other editors. And if other editors have shortcomings, it's not an excuse.
I also think that after paying for software the least you can expect is relatively bug-free code or quick updates to fix them, and a reduced number of crashes. That is, for software that has left beta to be labelled stable.
Absolutely.
