I can definitely see why people are upset by this. That said people (who use sublime as their main text editor) not purchasing sublime licenses is funny to me. It’s such a critical piece to your day to day work (as a dev at least) that I am surprised more people aren’t happy to support a great text editor.

Because people are so hesitant to paying for a license, it has become one of my go-to gifts to friends and co-workers who use sumblime but haven’t purchased a license yet.

I would expect that a workplace could pay this license out of the "petty" fund. It's a pretty good editor, all things considered, even tho it is somewhat "outclassed" by VSCode imho - but if you don't need that level of IDE-esque capability, sublime is great. I use it to analyze multi-gig log files and it opens it without a hitch!

VSCode freezes with large files... Sublime never does!

Exactly this.
