It might be true for you, but it doesn't look like it from the outside. It's fine if the editor would cost $10, but you're asking users to pay up $70 for a product that looks dead, and it's not even a perpetual license. It's just for the "current" version, whatever that is at the moment (I'm using Sublime Text 3 but it's still in "beta" since years).

I think Sublime Text would benefit from you and Jon being more active in communicating what's going on and what's on the road map. Perhaps someone else could help you, but the information still has to leave the silo of the core team.

I’m pretty active on the forum, IRC, Discord and the packages repo on GitHub.

Yeah, I know. :-) I wasn't trying to diminish your efforts, which I really appreciate.

I just think there is a need for more formal venues, such as a regularly updated roadmap.

You said it appears Sublime Text is dead. My point is that if you look at places where we post things other than release announcements you'll see all sorts of conversations going on that development is continuing.

Jon has never published a roadmap. If you think Sublime Text is dead because it doesn't have a public roadmap, then I'm not sure how to convince you otherwise. I mean, we did over 20 releases in 2016, with over 50k lines of syntax definitions and tests published on GitHub.

By the way, if you are a Sublime Text user, I'd love to get some feedback and bug reports on our Erlang syntax! We don't seem to have many Erlang users, but I'm sure the syntax could use some improvements.

I guess what I mean is that if you look at the the public page, Sublime Text 3 haven't had a release in half a year, and digging into the forums to discover if the project is alive is not what what everyone will do. I also don't think it's clear who's on the team for outside people.

I've thought about contributing to the Erlang syntax a couple of times. Is a rewrite in the new syntax format of any interest or do you want to keep compatibility with TextMate still?

Thanks for the feedback! I'll talk to Jon about trying to make the website push people to the forum to see what is going on.

We no longer keep compatibility with TextMate in any of the default syntaxes. Everything is now a .sublime-syntax, and has access to all of the advanced stack and scope manipulation features.

If you are interested in providing feedback, the packages are at https://github.com/sublimehq/Packages. Tests could be helpful, even if failing. The test syntax is described at http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/syntax.html#testing and scope naming guidelines at http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/scope_naming.html.
