Iām on a rMBP as well and noticed a few days the Anywhere window was coming to a crawl, typing and scrolling in the Anywhere window was locking up. Had to restart OS X 10.8.2 as restarting ST2 didnāt fix it. Only happened once so it could have been something else causing ST2 to crawl. Other then that Iāve not had many issues on the Retina. The only thing that has been somewhat sluggish is selecting, but Iām sure thatās due Jon writing his own selection engine instead of using CoreText or something. Other then that Iāve not had a ST2 hard crash since 2 went stable.
When will the sublime text 3 be ready?
Yikes. I was looking forward to getting an rMBP and being super productive on it with ST2.
Off topic but since a lot of people are mentioning that they have rMBPs, are any of you experiencing image retention? Itās becoming more and more noticeable on my rMBP and was wondering if anyone had experience with getting a replacement screen from apple.
I have the 13" and itās fantastic. No discrete card so the graphics canāt switch! (Never thought Iād be excited about the lack of discrete graphicsā¦)
Disabling GPU hardware acceleration in firefox should fix the problem as well
I had that same issue with mine, took to a local authorized Apple service center and they instantly knew of the problem. Dropped it off right when they opened and picked it up right after lunch the next day. They told me Apple switched to an only Samsung part number due to the LG screens having the retention issue, like the one I just had repaired. The Samsung screen was perfect, but a little heads up, LG screens tend to be very cool where as Samsung tend to be warmer, I prefer a warmer screen.
Iām just as productive on my rMBP as I was on my 13 Air, I find my increased productivity was due to SSD not some magical machine. Sometimes I do wish I bought the 13 Retina as I have zero need for the dedicated graphics, and some apps force dedicated even on just battery.
Thatās good to hear. I read about some people having different experiences with Apple either refusing to replace the screen claiming the retention was ānot that badā or Apple replacing the screen with another LG screen only to get the same issue. Hopefully all goes well and they can replace it with no problems. Thanks.
Has any updates being released in the last 3-4 months? Iām sorry to say but no blog post, no twitter, no forum post and no new build points to a dead project. We have seen this with textmate and it seems the same.
An update will come out soon enough and the frothing will temporarily subside while you enjoy the fruits of another 500 hours of Jonās labor. But again, the aching for fresh text editing meat will resurface and youāll cry out āIāve been abandoned with this software that has an unending free trial period and reasonable purchase cost!ā
Iāve already purchased ST2 and I do like it a lot, but, the complete lack communication of ANY kind is causing me to think itās not a great idea to invest a ton of time learning an editor thatās closed source and maintained by 1 person. I donāt even really care about new versions or updates, it mostly works great for me as it is, I just would like to see some sign that the developer hasnāt just cashed in his chips. An editor is a big time investment for a developer.
Even if Sublime never got another update, itās one of the best tools Iāve ever usedā¦ and Iād keep using it.
Well, I took my rMBP to an Apple Specialist. They replaced the screen, and I picked it up the next day. No signs of image retention. Painless experience. Now I have to get back to workā¦
Iām not expecting Sublime 3 any time soon, or free updates for life.
But the lack of communication is very concerning for me. Even if Jon just let us know heās going on holiday for a yearā¦ thatād be cool
The last blog post was in June last year.
Congratulations!
At first I was upset when I checked the model of my screen and found out itās LG, but luckily I havenāt experienced any problems yet (~3 months of use). Probably I should do the checkerboard test, but I donāt want to make a fuss without any practical reason.

Do not get me wrong. I think this is the best editor ever, but unfortunately is an one man show. And itās clear that communication between provider -> customer is an issue.
Have you ever thought what happens if for any circumstance the author stop the software development?
We hope to learn the latest sublime infomation !
But long time no message of sublime
I guess people are a little branded by textmate like editors. Textmate itself suffered from bad support, E suffered from bad support, some others I already forgot about did and now the development of sublime slows down.
BUT in my opinion there is a HUGE difference between these projects and Sublime: While every version of E introduced new bugs and unofficially never got out of beta, Sublime is major. Heck, I licensed Sublime over a year ago and always run the latest nightly build and even with that I did not have ONE single crash or anything like that in a year. Sublime runs just fine and does everything I knew it does when I paid a few bucks for the licence.
So start getting productive and stop yelling
As always - just my 0.02$
