I know that a large part of the Bitcoin community are developers of some sort, and for those who program, Sublime Text is a popular choice for a highly extensible text editor, with many plugins. One problem with Sublime Text, is that the only payment option when purchasing it, is PayPal I've written a large, descriptive post on their suggestion system explaining why they should accept Bitcoin. It would be great if people could up-vote and comment on the suggestion so that it can be easily seen by the company. http://sublimetext.userecho.com/topic/203342-/I've also made a reddit post on /r/Bitcoin if anyone wants to up-vote that, or comment on it: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1hz5ht/we_need_votes_to_get_sublime_text_to_accept/It shouldn't be too hard for us to get the post onto the front page, these are the current highest rated suggestions: To get anywhere on the front page of suggestions/ideas at the current time, is around ~400 votes, or to the top of the front page, we need ~1800 votes.It also helps if you retweet my post on twitter: https://twitter.com/compgenius999/status/354777554370035713EDIT: Wow. Just a day later and I find that we've already hit 317 votes, we're pretty close to getting onto the front page of suggestions! Thanks for all the support guysEdit: and as I say that, we come to a standstill... 2 days later stuck at around 350 votes, and the reddit has barely budged from 180 upvotes.

I'm a huge fan of Sublime Text! I have used it on Windows, Mac OS, and Linux!

It's free if you're fine with nagware, they expect you to buy it if you like it, but it's essentially an unlimited trial, no features limited, just an annoying popup every few saves. Currently you can pay $70 for a licence (it's a bit high, but I think they're just expecting very few people to buy it), and you're currently limited to paying via Paypal.

Wow. I come back a few hours later and see nearly 100 votes on the suggestions page, and to find the reddit post at the top of /r/Bitcoin Great work guys, we're sure to convince Sublime Text to accept Bitcoin at this rate!

Does this guy still actively develop Sublime? Seems like it's been on the same version number forever. No thanks, I'll stick with Emacs. Edit: nevermind, I see that there is finally a version 3 in the works. I might actually consider this.

It has tons of plugins for different languages. Pretty much anything you want already exists as a plugin. There's definitely a few debugging plugins, I mainly write PHP scripts, so I have the sublimelinter plugin which tells me if I screw up my code, similar to most PHP IDE's There's also plugins which act as intellisense for any language, helping to write your program faster. It's theme-able and very extensible. It's also pretty light (although notepad++ is lighter, ST lags on some computers)

Not sure if the Sales Team understands that they will still be getting their USD. Or the director thinks the mailman is going to dump a sackful of these 'bitcoins' at his door.

Looks like we've come to a bit of a standstill... Would be nice if people could upvote the reddit post some more, we've fallen from the frontpage of /r/Bitcoin, and we've stuck around 346 votes for almost a day now.
