Oh please. http://www.sublimetext.com/updates/3/dev/release_notes.html

What are you talking about? It’s been ~7 months since 3.0.

And Dev builds have been coming out every couple weeks if you desperately need frequent refreshes for some reason. https://www.sublimetext.com/3dev

7 months for a minor version is a long time considering VS Code has done monthly releases with huge changelogs in that period: https://code.visualstudio.com/updates

VS code has had a lot of catching up to do. I’d expect them to be shipping more changes.

The “minor version” statement is kind of strange. Would calling this 4.0 make it better?

What is Sublime text missing that’s taken too long to deliver? If it does everything you want and is actively supported/developed, the fact that they ship big version bumps infrequently shouldn’t matter.

Really? ST3 has had almost daily dev releases leading up to 3.1 and before that it was at least once a week.
