The author assumes that his plans for the future are in alignment with or superior to the vision of the authors / ip owners of Sublime. There's another problem with this article. Lots of people have pointed out how entitled this article is. Which isn't to say I would be against them going open source, just that I don't feel the reasoning is persuasive in the article. I wouldn't doubt it might receive a boost from being open source but if we contrast with Atom editor, which recently officially EoL'd and was open source, it didn't make it a superior experience to Sublime ime, despite how much functionality the community was eager to replicate. Plus there has already been a healthy plugin community for Sublime. The suggested scenario would ironically make the available free version worse. Such users have already decided they want all the features of Sublime just for free and the devs have allowed for that without restriction. Sublime has been known for years for its generous trialware, where a countless number of users just click past the popup suggesting buying. > When it comes to making money, the SublimeText developers can offer the core version of SublimeText for free, while they can sell a pro version with more advanced features targeted towards more advanced users and developers.

They're not just fixing bugs either, new improvements have been added. They have Mac/Windows/Linux specific fixes as well as fixes to their API. Here's the most recent patch from two weeks ago on this 'Abandonware'.

Two weeks ago was their most recent patch. They released 3 builds in one month last December. They've released 12 builds in the past year. They released a huge major version change (4.0.0) just 2 years ago.
