I agree with you, I use KomodoEdit for maybe 4 years and I drop it just because the release cycles became too quickly and "new features" keep me from doing my job. It really annoyed me.
I guess that people begin to talk about the dead of sublime text with the launch of github Atom.
Since there are basically the same features and with a beautiful interface to manage the extensions, everyone started to look back to ST and ask: "Ok, what's your move now?".
I have almost nothing to complaint about ST, I've been using the version 3 regularly for a few months. Off course, I want new features (and a few bugfixes, damn you single quotes bug), but I'm pretty happy.
I've been a Windows user for about two decades, and I've never heard anyone complain about software being Windows-exclusive — it was just the norm. But now that the Mac's become a little more popular, I see lots of tech-savvy people suddenly getting offended whenever a cool new piece of software comes out for OSX first. It's really annoying.
> never heard anyone complain about software being Windows-exclusive
Really? I guess you never spent time outside of Windows-user circles. Understandable, since they're the majority. But I've been whining and have heard others groan about Windows-exclusivity precisely since I was introduced to Linux.
Funny, Final Cut X isn't a real tool, it's sad that Adobe are trouncing apple at the moment in the video space, and OmniFocus is a toy piece of software... there are probably more users of Atom.io than Omnifocus ;)
I get your point, you don't have to be multiplatform, but your two examples aren't good ones.

Perhaps you are 1-2 years behind in the news. What you refer was based on the FPCX release back in the day. Since then it added the missing features (multicam, library management and tons of other stuff), and has regained market share. Actually it has been one of the top sellers for Apple. Professional editors that bashed it, have changed their tune -- you can find several articles and posts to that effect.
The whole backslash were because FCP7 was discontinued and initial FCPX didn't have 100% parity. Plus, editors didn't know how development works (can't blame them), so couldn't understand that a newly developed engine, re-designed to be future-proof, will have dropped features and might lunch without 100% parity.
>and OmniFocus is a toy piece of software... there are probably more users of Atom.io than Omnifocus ;)
You seem to have a very bizarro notion of what's a "toy piece of software".
Actually Atom.io is as fringe as it gets. Most people have checked it out of curiosity and returned to their editors.
Omnifocus, OTOH, has been featured on the Mac Store, and has been on the top list of best selling apps.
I know I switched because it does everything Sublime Text 2 does for me - and then more. I even created my own package and published it online because it was so intuitive to extend.
Its def slower. I do like atom, however I tend to end up doing a lot of heavy log crunching. Atom will stutter and crash whereas sublime breezes through anything I can throw at it.
Probably they "think" (never thought that I would use it in the IT world) that you are running some torrent client or anything like that. It's very common in EU to use this kind of hosts to download torrents and avoid problems with the law
I works, but I guess that some tweaks would make it better, like add Behave (http://jakiestfu.github.com/Behave.js/) to make easier to indent the code and a real time error console.
I know that twitter boostrap is a great tool to start a project and to prove the concept. I love the idea as a amateur cook and developer (not amateur :D), but if you want to reach a larger public (non developers) I think you should invest some time (and probably money) into a good designer (by the way, is a website where we could really "rent" a webdesigner? I know some where you coul rent a coder but not a designer).
I think that using bootstrap core without any kind of customization isn't the best way to get users. Add a nice logo, maybe some screenshots of the product features, and the most important, if you want to keep boostrap, customize it!
A screenshot would be nice. I presumed it silently removed console.logs from your code, only to wonder why the fuck so much code was needed for that ;)
I think that the main problem in the Gmail for iOS is that I can't configure the refresh time. For people who receive lots of e-mails it drains the battery so bad that it last only half a day.
I use this technique a long time and it seems to beat all bots (a medium website, about 100k unique visitors per day). It's easy, unobtrusive and just works :)
