I really like sublime text, i have considered buying it several times. I go to the buy page and see the price tag - $70 US! Nope.

Given the very slow and infrequent development and the fact that its just a text editor (albeit a fancy one), i really can't justify the price.

I would consider buying if it was receiving regular updates (bug fixes, new features, etc) and had a bit of certainty with its future. But really, if it was priced around $20, i would have bought it ages ago - and if it hadn't then, I'd buy it now.
