First release in over a year! I had left ST when I felt that there wasn't the will or resources to address basic usability things like <a href="https://github.com/sublimehq/sublime_text/issues/328" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/sublimehq/sublime_text/issues/328
If anyone is following along in the forums and understands the health of the team behind the product, could you give us a read on the prospective longterm health of the product? Most in my circle thing ST is dead or abandoned.
Not very much following the forums, but the pace they are producing things is fine. What is "basic usability thing" for you, might be something unimportant for the rest. How the team sets the priorities might be just fine for a lot of users..
Long term prospects for Sublime Text look good. The business is healthy and there is consistent work being done by a small but dedicated team.
As for why specific issues aren't addressed, it's merely a prioritization thing. It's a large task, and I'm sure if you asked 100 people they'd all give you different answers for which "basic usability" thing needs to be addressed.

I am glad to hear this. (As someone new also trying to sell a text editor)
Great inspiration.
