Don’t be naive, I’d be shocked if he wasn’t making a killing from it.

Awesome. Why don’t you use Synthesia to write some code?[/quote]
I don’t know where he was going with this either but you being a dick about it is just as pointless.
To the OP, yeah, $59 is exorbitant for a text editor, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. It’s not as simple as relativist “I make that much from developing with it in x hours” thinking, the fact of the matter is that within its own marketplace, it’s expensive. If you do want to look at it from a relative perspective then consider, for example, school-age hobbyist coders and countries with a much lower GDP per capita than America (i.e. most of us) where the price is steeper in “real” terms. Even when I was programming for fun during my school years, I would’ve paid for a program like Sublime could I have afforded it.
I can’t personally afford it but fortunately the evaluation model is very generous all things considered so people like me aren’t suffering for it.
