The guilt of never paying for Sublime Text finally overtook my conscience so I ended up switching to Atom. Atom would chug memory on Windows 10 so now I curiously find myself using Caret[1] which is much lighter on resources despite using the same web technologies in the background.

After years of using Sublime without licence I've looked at my paycheck and I realised that probably 80% of it was earned while being in Sublime Text. I don't understand why developers earning tens (sometimes hundreds) of thousands of dollars refuse to pay $70 for life time licence for an application that helps them earn those money.

That's exactly why I decided to purchase my license.

I totally agree with you. I code as a hobby in my spare time making no money off it so I'd rather use a free option.

You'd rather change editor twice than pay for one?
