It's worth every dime!

you dont have to pay for it... you can keep on using it will simply keep coming up every now and then. Sort of like winrar. Its annoying when it comes up but just click not now or whatever and it will go away. Ive been using it for months for free. I guess if you like using it though you should support sublime. but you dont have to.

There are tons of truly free text editors out there. However most of the better text editors either cost money or will continue to ask for you to support them.

Unless something changed in version 3 it only prompts you to buy a license on save. I used it free for several months while I didn't have a job. However, within a month of getting a job I had a fully licensed copy. For any of you with jobs who are using it free just 'cause.. quit being a cheap ass! It's well worth the money. Plus, if too many people use it and don't pay for it the developer will have little reason to keep it updated.

thanks for the response.. its good to know i can keep using it... the reason I lost it there for a second was because i finished my code after it had asked for money, and it was at that moment that my browser refused to refresh... thought it was Sublime stopping me from using it lol. Its working fine again now .. thanx again:)

Just incase you haven't seen these excellent free Sublime text tutorials tutsplus

I really recommend you check them out to give you some idea of just how much you can do with Sublime text.

I bought Coda 2 a few months ago.. Ive just downloaded a trial version V3 beta of Sublime to see how it compares, ill give it a couple of weeks before i decide to buy.
