Only problem with sublime is the exorbitant price. It's just too much!

$100 for what one (three?) years?

Seriously?

Forget the exorbitant tech salaries, so many other industries charge way more for essential equipment. That's chaper than a single snap-on wrench out of the hundreds that an automative shop has to buy. It's two months of adobe bundle that most graphic designers subscribe to. I think the perspective here is important.

Not everyone on HN is on Silicon Valley wages. Or even work in international tech hubs like SV or London.

For some in tech, $100 is a hell of a lot of money.

$100 for a text editor seems quite expensive to me. I agree it is not much in comparison to many other professional tools.
