I wouldn't consider ST3 to be stable or usable under Linux since it just wrecks file permissions.

Neither do the Sublime Text developers; even the main release of Sublime Text 3 is listed as beta, and the download link on the front page of their website is still Sublime Text 2.

But do they still update the stable version of ST2? From what I gather "beta" is his way of describing the fact that he's actively developing it

[cwyers]

The last release of Sublime Text 2 was over a year ago. And the post I was responding to was claiming Sublime Text 3 was already stable.

My point is that the "released" version has been abandoned. He's not supporting previous versions at all, you pay for access to an actual beta build, but if you happened to buy the full product you're SOL

I'm using the 3059 build and it doesn't change permissions of pre-existing files. And this build is supposed to solve that for the dev builds (I have to check it).
