Sorry for side-jacking this comment - but which version of Sublime, may I ask, and what OS?

I'm using Sublime 2 on OS X and large files + regular expressions are generally a cause for pain.

Do you have any default settings changed like disabled document preview or similar?

The only thing I generally feel is a champ at regular expressions + insanely large files on OS X is TextWrangler/BBEdit. In fact, I keep TextWrangler around specifically for the large file excellence experience which I (currently) don't receive on Sublime Text 2.

Upgrading to Sublime 3 can't hurt...

I don't have issues with large files on OS X.

Is the beta stable enough to use regularly?

[freditup]

Yes, I would say it is quite stable. In fact, in the ST blog it says: "Sublime Text 3, while still technically in beta, is the recommended version of Sublime Text to use." [0]

Thanks :) I'll give it a whirl!

EDIT: WOWOW

Major difference! Definitely sticking with 3!! Thank you :D

Extremely fast in comparison to 2.

Atom crashed and froze on me numerous times during this day of 1.0 release. ST3 'beta' has never crashed or frozen on me since it's been out.

I use the dev version (currently on the latest build 3092) for all of my editing, never had an issue. And if it should ever break, it's easy to download the next-older build and use that. Very satisfied.

Any update on this long-past inquiry of the future status of Sublime Text?

Since that post development has picked back up:

I had found that Sublime did pretty terribly with large files (not source), so I was back in in Emacs.
