For anyone else curious, the most recent update on their site seems to be from May 21, 2021, so almost two years ago -- but unless I missed it, this does not seem to be mentioned by the article.

The author seems to simply be saying that VSCode is more popular because it's open source, and therefore Sublime should go open source. Not sure I quite follow.

The latest stable version of ST4 was released in November 2022, and the latest dev build in March 2023. https://www.sublimetext.com/dev I assume that their target audience is inquisitive enough to find out about recent updates.

There are long periods without updates though.

You missed it[0]. Last update was 2 weeks ago, not 2 years ago. Sublime has had 12 updates in the past 12 months, with 3 updates in December alone.

Two years is definitely a long while, but Sublime has always had long breaks between releases.
