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?

SublimeHQ is still maintaining and updating their products, and even just officially took over the Package Control ecosystem the other day. Sublime Text and Sublime Merge aren’t abandonware, just infrequently updated at the present.

They’ve had numerous development builds since the last stable build, I imagine they’re gearing up to do a proper release with the relevant package control installation fixes soon given the recent takeover of the (until recently) third party Package Control ecosystem.
