Saw "Free", then I saw "Purchase A License".

In part its still free. Just you will get the annoying purchase dialog here and there. But the software is rather free to use with no visible limitations. So "Purchase A License" is not a major concern. Aldo I love Sublime Text 3 I still think Notepad++ is much better do to the sole reason it has a build in FTP.

It's open source and I can easily find a license on the web for #2

The license $hit

While most will just use it and put up with the "you're using a trial, please buy the license."

You don't charge dirty, poor programmers $60 for a text editor. No matter how good it is, you'll just scare away the peasants to something murdering them inside such as Notepad++. Trust me, the editor is brilliant and is totally worth switching to if all you use if simple stuff. Arguably better than even Textmate, perhaps.

Try it, you might be surprised.

Sublime is my all-time favorite text editor and I don't think I'll ever have a reason to try any others. It's simple, but it has everything I need. I like the fact that you can add custom styles to change the colors of the interface and I also (usually) like the auto-complete feature while you're typing code and it almost always manages to guess what I'm about to type correctly. To be quite honest, I don't like the idea of paying for a text editor and it's been awhile but I think I actually got Sublime for free with a Torrent. However, I do think it's worth paying for and that it's one of the all-around best text-editors out there.

100% Love it, I love all the customization that you can use, different packages that you can download. If you are any kind of developer especially a Web Dev like me, then I highly suggest this as it is also free!

In Beta V3 since ages!

Sublime Text is by far the best text editor for Mac! It is also the best editor I found compatible with the XML format. It truly saved my life at one time and I have not been using any other editors ever since. Higly recommend it.

Have been using this editor for years, solid. More performant (imo) compared to some other editors or IDEs. I like how it looks and works the same on various platforms. The licensing for personal use is open and very reasonable.

I have mixed feelings about this editor, unfortunately...
I love it and I hate it at the same time.

Why I love this editor:

Because of this editor very fast and comfortable for me, it's faster almost any other competitor except maybe Notepad++ and UltraEdit in terms of performance...
It's increases my productivity in 20-30-100x times (not kidding here) if compared to any other alternative. I can super easy and fast do really crazy stuff while working with this editor.
It has really awesome plugins, and themes, it really has a lot of built-in features which saves tons of time, solving tons of issues, helping really a lot in work.

BUT! I hate this editor too, because of:

Lack of support of different encoding like Korean, Japanese, Russian (cp1251) and really weird implementation of detecting these encodings...
Because of python in core sometimes it slowdown really too much for specific files some things like searching, editing, etc, while other editors do the job well...
Sublime Text in 2019 - losing the competition to VSCode, Atom, and other hipsters editors for really a lot of really interesting things like themes, new plugins, community. Really a lot of people moved away from Sublime to VSCode... Also, for me very sad to see when already a lot of plugins and themes and features abandoned.
VSCode has really powerful features like IntelliSense for different languages, and Sublime Text really needs it too (debugger, IntelliSense, and integration with many tools for faster and easier coding, writing code, etc with a lot of useful and correct suggestions...)
Lack of Git support and integration like in VSCode
Really weird installation of plugins and themes, no preview thing and centralized inside editor page with previews how plugins/themes look like. I forced to open a foreign repository just to read what I need.

Sad, but if the thing will continue to be like it is right now - the editor will die really soon...
