SubEthaEdit: not free anymore.
May 24th, 2006Well, at least for me. I used to be able to use SubEthaEdit under the personal use license. After the release of version 2.5, they have now gone to the 30-day-trial-then-pay-$35 deal. It was my editor of choice, for its snappiness, fast to launch, the ever so useful collaborative editing, and many other features. I now wonder if it is worth it to pay $35 for a text editor (or $20 as a student).
I have no idea as of yet what new features the upgrade has brought. I’ve recently tried TextWrangler is the one to try now. I once tried BBEdit (TextWrangler’s big brother), and it felt a bit too clunky for my tastes.
I’ll update this post after I give all the rest of the editors a run, and get some impressions.

Looking forward to your impressions. Sad to hear that SubEthaEdit has gone the way of fully-commercial text editors. Does the last free version still work? Save it if it does - it might come in handy.
