Takes a good five minutes to fill in but will be interested to see the results of this.

I suspect it will be people who want a more up to date, more stable sublime. We'll see.

Is sublime unstable for you? How do you use it?

I use it 8 hours a day professionally (web dev in php/python) or hobby (python/go/whatever) and it works really well.

I think we should just wait before making assumptions about what IDE is going to get the most love. ;)

"How much would you pay?" is totally the wrong question to ask. People have no idea how much they'd actually pay until you show them the product and invite them to get their credit card out. And it's well known that people's willingness to pay is affected by all kinds of seemingly irrelevant cues.

If this is a market research exercise "Do you pay for you development tools?" would be a much more useful question.

Up to now, I've never considered personaly buying a development environment. Now I can say the idea is kind of disgusting - imagining my development tools evolve into silos, like happened with social interaction and portable apps.

I guess I know exactly how much I'd pay.

ville, is this survey yours? Will it be considered done based on time or answers? It's interesting, looking forward to the results!

Nice to see lots of interest in the survey! We set this up with a friend of mine because we did not find much existing data about this subject. We'll keep it open for the rest of week and provide the results and analysis next week.

Please do, I mostly filled it out in hopes that I'd get a chance to see the results posted somewhere

Please add my email to your list and notify me directly, I might miss an HN post..

I completed the survey and selected our product (crudzilla.com)...will be interest to know what developer attitude is given my obvious business interest:)

No problem, we will notify you. This also gave us an idea to add an optional email address field to the survey for notifying about the results.

Where can we see the results of the survey?

OP here. We will do an analysis of the results and publish them here after we get enough responses.

i am interested in this
