Ask HN: What's up with Sublime Text?

The thing Atom has going for it is not being developed as someone's hobby project and being an open source project.

Sublime Text is still being developed by one guy. Sublime Text will cease to exist if that dude stops developing it.

Well, it's one developer for now, but back in July they mentioned that they would expand the team of developers after 3.0 is released. http://www.sublimetext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=16517

It's been one developer for a very long time and the guy has been very unprofessional with the way he was handling support and bug fixes for Sublime Text 2.

Yeah, which is quite sad, because it's an awesome editor (and a worthy successor of TextMate). It would be amazing if the dude decided to open source it if he wasn't interested in it's further development.

Software doesn't stop working when people stop developing for it. Sublime Text 2 as it currently stands is a decent tool.

That's correct, but bugs don't go away either.

But many of them have workarounds :)
