Sublime Text 2 or 3?

Hi Guys,

I've been using Sublime Text 2 for some time now and was wondering if I should transition into 3. And what are the differences (if any) between the two...good or bad?

Thanks. Mark JC

I've been using 3 for a while because the upgrade is free once you purchased Sublime Text 2. I think it's faster and I'm pretty sure there's more stuff to add but you can now preview images without leaving Sublime. If you bought Sublime Text 2, I'd say just upgrade. You aren't losing anything by doing so.

Before committing to Sublime 3, you should give Atom.io a go. It's free and awesome.

@Ian I check it out. I've heard Atom mentioned before. I was wondering if ST 3 would be an upgrade or just the same thing.

I also think there's way more plug-ins available for 3.
