The last version was the first I paid for

I own a license to the previous version of SubEthaEdit; it was a great editor. When I used it, having one file per window was the way to go as most of the work I did was live-edited on a development server. Things have changed alot since then and now I’m used to being able to open an entire project within my editor and quickly change between files; this is one of the major features that SubEthaEdit is missing.

The overall application doesn’t really look like anything of significance has changed since the previous version. I can’t really use any of the great themes that have come out in recent years (like solarized) and changing the editing fonts doesn’t quite work right.

It may be able to collaborate just fine, but if it doesn’t excel at editing alone, it’s really hard to justify the expense. This is especially true since I need my team members and friends to also use the same editor for the colloborative editing to work at all.

I would return this if I could and if I could have downloaded a demo I never would have purchased this to begin with. I expected just a little bit more to be worth the price.
