Postcard Jon

I’ve got an idea that maybe we will send some christmas postcards to Jon ? Maybe ST is now abandoned but still it’s great software and he deserves some love.

Bunch of small hotfixes are not an evidence for Jon’s return :smile: Also the topic ST team issued about that is closed now (Development Status - July 2014).

Technical Support have no love from anyone, plugins devs abandons ship (Sublimall, I love you :*). ST is in retired house now, you eventually send postcard or go with a visit from time to time but no one really cares about it anymore.

If anyone sends a postcard an open source pledge would be nice. Limetext is trudging along very slowly, this will bring development back up again.

I occasionally defended ST on this forum and I still think a lot of the rhetoric along the lines “I payed and Jon broke the contract” is ridiculous. But I have to admit that ST development is at a bare minimum. The community involvement has decreased rapidly. I am still going to stick with ST for some time because it remains an amazing editor. I might reconsider when Atom 1.0 ships.

You could be right that some developments are not completed. But I have a different perspective on things.
I see in ST a wonderful kit. All material things work. And with Python I can do all the things I miss is complete.
OK, some essential things i miss too, i.e. an event to register closing ST.
But despite all that ST is a fantastic editor.
I have tested Atomic. In my opinion this is still light years away from ST. It has been there far from being the customization options, such as in ST.
Thats my two cents.

But not to forgot: Thats my postcard for Jon. :sunglasses:

When atom was announced I thought that was the dream editor come true. But then the lag was unbearable. Scrolling, selecting, moving the mouse, almost everything, and it hasn’t improved by much since it came out. Since then I’ve discovered brackets which feels like what atom intended to be but without the lag.

That’s a nice reminder to Jon that keeping his editor dead is a fine choice.

I’m not even sure that there is a Jon anymore.

Send a postcard to Will Bond instead. It seems like he’s the only one still doing stuff.
