On: I'm not too happy about Sublime Text 3

[corresation]

says he's perfectly willing to pay a yearly subscription fee

I don't know the author at all, but such claims generally deserve skepticism: It's easy to proclaim how grandly generous one would be if only another party did x, y and z.. We see that here, just as the same dubious claim appears in every single piracy discussion.

I don't know him and he doesn't explicitly say so in his post, but it sure sounds like he paid for ST2, which costs $70.

Rings a little truer to me than some kid in a college dorm with a cell phone full of pirated mp3s.

I do know him personally, and he usually puts his money where his mouth is. (We both paid for ST2.)
