I was under the impression that the "forced" upgrade to Sublime 4 caught quite a few out, and may have been a nail in the coffin.
I'm still rocking SLT 3, and it's my go-to for large file handling or just as a simple scratchpad, but development (of SLT) feels like it moves at a snails pace.
I'm in the same boat. I bought ST3 and have avoided going to 4, as now it's just my scratch pad and .txt viewer, not really used for development.
I can live with a 'LICENSE UPGRADE REQUIRED' text in the title bar.
Everything works just the same, and I don't get the purchase pop-ups.

This is how it's always been I think; their model.

I don't think ST needs to move fast. It's a good quality editor. It doesn't need a bunch of new features every couple of months. Just getting a major update once a year is fine imo.
Sublime has ongoing development on https://www.sublimetext.com/dev and the last major release (4) was just about a year ago.
