Do you have any options for a reduced cost license? Ideally I get enough value from the tool that I'd like to contribute financially but the current cost is (for me) too high. Perhaps I should just continue with the occasional nag popup.

I really enjoy using Sublime Text for some parts my daily workflow yet that equates for me using like 5% of the actual functionality. I don't actively write code within ST but use it for stuff surrounding my coding workflow.

Nonetheless, thanks for the product. I really enjoy it.

edit: lol downvotes because I'm trying to give someone money

I bought the product in 2015. I don't remember the cost but let's assume it was $80. (EDIT, I just looked and it was $70 at the time) That's $16 a year. If you use even 5% of the functionality, isn't it worth that? I don't know what country you are from and there my be economic differences but sublime text has been one of the best software purchases I've made. It's worth every cent.

If you don't feel it's worth $80, you can use Visual Studio Code for free.

Are you offering to purchase this product for the parent commentor?

Unless you are offering to pay for it because the cost is so little I'm not sure your rebuttal holds water.

$80.00 US is a lot for an editor that doesn't provide updates.

I don’t understand this whole threads obsession with updates. ST has always seemed like a finished product to me. Always does what I expect and is stable. I’m happy for paying the price I did for the features I got at that time.

I completely disagree.

I didn't pay $80 for an editor that doesn't provide updates. I paid $70 for 5 years use of an editor that has updated a major version and a few minor versions and that I've installed on many workstations and VMs through the years. I use it every day so I'm glad I paid.

The parent commentor said they are already using it and will continue to do so without paying. Neither of you need to pay for the editor if you don't like it. Just use a different one.

It's a one-time fee. Personally, I still felt it was worth it.

No, the downvotes are because you aren't willing to pay a very fair price for the product and have admitted you depend on it and use it without paying and will continue to do so.
