With regards to Sublime Text, there's a few forum posts asking whether or not its been abandoned. So far the only response was back in March (http://www.sublimetext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=15477&p...), and not from the creator (Jon), but those handling sales enquiries.

All up, it seems the creator has taken a break and momentum has stalled. Sad, since I can't think of an editor I like as much as Sublime.

Hmm... I really do hope they start up again. It's by far my most used application and it'd kill me to find another editor I like as much as it.

I have tried Atom in the past, but it just felt "thin" and "flimsy". Maybe it's because I've been using ST for so long I just am automatically against any other project that tries to compete for the market share. :)

Huge Sublime fan here, recently switched to Atom. With the new React-driven editor buffers, it feels much more native. Give it another spin! Properly configured, it's pretty much at parity with Sublime. Insane momentum behind it with new plugins every day.

And if you don't like something, just pop open DevTools and dive in! A lot to be said for that.

Okay. I'll try it out, but no promises. ;)
