Poll: Sublime Text 2 License?

"Sublime Text may be downloaded and evaluated for free, however a license must be purchased for continued use."[1]

I have been loving Sublime Text 2 for over a year now (Sublime Text X!) but have only just today bought a license.

How 'bout you?

It's a lovely little text editor. I especially like the way it shows my full file in the window, with a highlighted screen to identify where in the file I'm viewing. As a new user of the program though, I'm lost: it appears to do PL-based highlighting, but I can't quite make out where to tell it what language it's looking at; and it appears to be skinnable, but all the built-in skins look remarkably similar, and I don't see a way to tell it, element-by-element, how to skin the window. That might just be my incompetence as a user, though.

I've been using Sublime Text (1) since it was beta and after falling in love with it I bought a licence mostly to support the developer.

I used it for free for a few months, and finally bought the license 2 months ago. I figured, it's a damn nice piece of software, and I use it pretty much non-stop for work.

Quite happy with it.
