>I've been very active on the forum, Discord, IRC and the Packages repo on GitHub. I don't think the stereotype of Sublime HQ being radio silent holds true any longer.

Yeah, it's the blog posts/tweets stuff that might be needed.

Because most devs don't bother checking the forums (much less irc).

In fact, and this is 100% true, I just spoke to a guy in the next office asked him enthusiastically "did you get the new ST update?", and he looked at me quizzically: apparently he still uses ST2 (which has bought 2 years ago or so) and didn't even know there was a ST3 out at all.

(which motivated me to post this thread on HN)

The ST page _still_ says "Sublime Text 3 is currently in beta. ". This leads the cautious and uninitiated user to install ST2 instead.

I used ST2 for years after everyone else was using ST3, before I realized that ST3 was basically what everyone else is using -- which I mostly only realized as more and more packages were available only for ST3 and not ST2.

I have no idea why the author still calls ST3 beta, but I am curious.

Your co-worker is technically correct, the last release of ST was version 2 in Sept 2016.

That's the worse kind of correct. Have been using ST3 trouble-free for 2+ years, and all new development happens there anyway.

Not sure what you're asking. If you mean if this is a major release, then no. It's a new dev build for the ST 3 series.

It is however "major" in features.
