Not digging the multiple windows interface. That was one of the things that was so nice about smultron back in the days, when single-window applications was something unheard of. I'm not going back.
Well, while i'm at it, i never liked the in-application (toolbar, preference, etc) icons either. The main application icon is awesome though!
Still, i wish smultron all the best! :)

Great editor. Was free in the past but the dev jumped the crAppStore for money.
But in the end it is worth paying the small price tag.

I wouldn't mind paying $5 or even $10 for it but, as I've posted here before, I do have a big problem with the MacCrapStore and Apple's attempt to jam it down our throats.
I have the utmost respect for developers who elect to keep sales in-house and will support them exclusively.
If any software that I want is available via MacCrapStore only I'll just not purchase it.
Some smart developers offer their software directly through themselves as well as through the CrapStore; I don't have a problem with that approach.

+1 I hope that developer reads these comments and really hope that there will be a NON-CrapStore version soon. Until then I am sticking with Fraise which is pretty much Smultron :)

@Raddle: let's see whether a meta-comment or a meta-meta-comment is further below zero on the usefulness scale…

I used Smultron back when it was free, so my reviews are based on that. I was using it for the bulk of my coding projects, and I love its intuitive and well-thought-out interface.

I see the creator of Smultron has decided to sell the product via the Apple Store, which I have mixed feelings about. On the one hand, he's charging for an open-source project that has been free for years (and has previous free versions and a free fork called Fraise); on the other hand, the price itself ($5) is extremely low, and is an extremely good value for what you're getting. I'd say it's a good deal, even if I have mixed feelings about him 'going commercial'.

Exactly to the point. The app-store really is a no-brainer! Why are you supporting something that suppose that you don't use your brain? I suggest you use your brain to think about how corporations and their chase for profit alone limits everybody's freedom. Why is supporting multinational corporations in your interest at all?

Apple (and micro$oft, including oracle, ikea, coca cola, haliburton, google, and you name the rest of them) are trying to take over whereever there is free choice. The open source community offers a chance for the individual (including developers like Borg) to make a difference. Why not?

I would rathe pay 100 dollars to Borg than the 4.99 that he charges behind the appstore. It is beyond me how people (particularly on the right wing) want to defend monopoly. Tell me, why do you like the idea that all your purchases are routed through your operating system, owned and controlled by apple? What might be the advantage of giving up freedom and integrity for a net business right inside your computer? Let me know! Give it to me - all the fantastic qualities that I have missed...

A new 64 bit text editor already featuring Lion's Resume, Auto Save and Versions. That plus line numbering, syntax colouring, snippets, regular expressions and commands for $5. Bluntly, I'm dismayed that anyone would have the nerve to complain about such a bargain. I'm delighted to see that Peter Borg has finally decided to charge something for his hard work and I'm very grateful that he has been so generous.

Yet another app that I will not "buy" through the Apple store. They want to charge 4.99 USD for this "free" app.

The developer submitted his app to the app store because he would like to be paid for his hard work, as he should. You seem to suggest that Apple finds apps it wants in the Mac App Store and charges for them.

No "ben", paying is no problem but using the Apple store is a big minus. Maybe I could buy a copy through his site? . . . not possible.
