Because I already got burned once paying for TextMate and having the development basically die. The same pattern seems to be happening with Sublime Text.

So I finally just started using Emacs instead. Setup my keybindings so they're Mac/Sublime Text like and wrote a little custom frame/window manager in elisp to make the application behave the way I want, and I'm free from having to worry about one of my core tools turning into abandonware.

I felt the same way. Bought a license for 2, then for 3. Then immediately watched a lack of updates for nearly a year (or any of substance). But the 3 "dev" channel is pretty active currently: http://www.sublimetext.com/3dev

None of that changes your point, that you're still at the mercy / whim of a developer.

Well, aren't we all?
