Question for current ST3 users: how stable is this ST3 beta as compared to ST2? I tried an early beta and it crashed horribly in the middle of a code-marathon, lost me a few crucial bits of code. Switched back immediately to ST2.

Is it safe to install this ST3 beta now?

PS: I'm referring to the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64-bit version, if that matters at all...

I've been using it since the first beta build. Never had an issue.

It's so much faster as well, even though Sublime 2 was quick. The new plugin system I can't live without either, so many nice plugins.

I think so. I only switched to ST3 because ST2 was being a giant pain in the ass with it frequently deciding to add my current theme to the 'ignored' packages, frequently not showing the sidebar when launched with a directory as an argument, and similar quirky bugs. ST3 has been solid as a rock in comparison and is a lot faster/immediate as well.

The only issues I've had on OSX are plugin compatibility issues with Python 3. It's been more than stable.

I switched over after the last build and things have been really stable.

I've been using it for a few months now on OSX and I don't think I've had a single issue so far.

Occasionally crashes for me (32-bit Arch). I just updated to the new build to see if it's better.

I've been using ST3 on OS X for a few months. It works great for me. No problems to report .

Had problems with the initial release but haven't had any issues in quite a while.

Never crashed IIRC.
