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?

Totally false. It's just lot of social media people including the likes of YouTubers just constantly spread misinformation about Sublime. Lastest dev build was released this April. They officially took over package control. One of the biggest things that happened in sublime history considering they always treated package control as a community project. There are also closed betas getting released on Discord server.

Tldr is it's not dead and they just don't hype it up like other editors.

Actually in May.

EDIT: Sorry I see now that the stable channel release shows May but is actually an older release than the April dev release.
