You may be interested in [LimeText](https://github.com/limetext/lime), if it ever gets to a usable state. It's aiming to be a open-source clone of Sublime.

Last commit 5 months ago. That project looks essentially dead.
It's very much alive. You are looking at the meta project. If you look at the other components ( https://github.com/limetext ), there are recent commits.
Last commit 28 days ago is still not too active.
People are downvoting you, but I think it's a legitimate point. For a stable project in maintenance mode, sure 28 days means very little, but for up-and-coming open-source clone of a major text editor it doesn't smell like critical mass.
That's exactly it. When someone suggests a project trying to compete and clone sublime text I expect it to be actively doing so, not doing so a month ago.
I have committed to the project twice, we would appreciate more people contributing :-)
