I struggle to think of a piece of software I've been as happy with paying for as ST. It's just a reliable and snappy text editor that _feels good to use_. Sure, it doesn't have all the fancy new things Atom and VSCode often do, but that doesn't really matter to me. I work on fairly small codebases (scientific data analysis, mostly) and ST is more than good enough for it. Whenever I feel the need for something more advanced, I'll switch to neovim. But ST + neovintageous usually get the job done. I'll happily continue to support ST!
