[quote=“iamntz”]There was another editor that tried to follow the model of paid open source: E-text.
Long story short, last commit[/quote]
is 4 years old.
With the substantial difference that Sublime Text has a devoted following and E-Text didn’t.[/quote]
E-texteditor had a large following back in the days, it was the Textmate-for-not-apple-users, I remember the forum threads asking to opensource it and as iamntz said the fast decline once it open-sourced… lucky me ST was grown enough to be a replacement (even though I still miss the file-dragging actions)…
Another example of editor died soon after open-sourcing is Crimson Editor (speaking about 2003/2004), it gone from open source to abandoned like the same day…
Intellij and Ecplise may be opensource, but they are not the same as ST, they are IDEs and ST is not…
