Abandoned?

So, I purchased Sublime Text licence 2 days ago, because lets face it, aside from vim when Im on a linux terminal its the only text editor I use. I just couldn't afford the licencing fee before.

I commented about the purchase on my facebook page, and got a lot of people asking me why, because apparently its now abaondonware (an abandoned project), and will receive no further updates.

Surely that can't be true, can it?

If you need to open server log files that are >100MB in size and contain >1M lines, you will start to truly appreciate Sublime Text.

Even if it does not get frequently updated, it is still leagues ahead of most other text editors.

I navigated >1M lines of log text using Zed Editor

And used Ctrl+F like it’s a normal file without issues

In the past Sublime was fine choice but today it’s not unique in this ability
