On a side note, the competition for this sector of market, for sublime and such is much tougher, like atom and vscode being "free" to use. The one thing that hinders definitely, is the amount of third-party packages available.
Now let's think again when you trust some third-party for something as important as your home door.
What really trigger this is that their beta versions for mac and windows now have a changlog reading like this:
"Introduce Docker Community Edition"
It seems that they would be releasing the current tools as a separate but related product now. Just to clarify, Docker for Mac or Windows is not open-sourced (although it includes docker which is open-sourced).
I think it is best to use built-in compression scheme by the compression program to do the encryption first, as those often take these into account (and the header is not leaked, since only the content is encrypted).
Of course for people looking at the usage for this, money is not the major issue.
One thing with the whole "IDE" thing is that they are actually quite slow. I use sublime for my other interests (web, dynamic languages, etc.) and didn't find any problems and also could do all those magic things like line endings, respecting tabs or spaces for indentation. The only thing sublime don't provide is the constant need for refactoring and complex requirement of autocomplete down to import names. They are mostly because of Java.
What most people wouldn't like to see are yearly subscriptions of another editor or paid upgrade every 18-month. I could personally bear with textmate and sublime for their current licensing (personal => works on as many computers I have - which I have at least 4)
For OSS ones, we have the traditional ones like emacs, vim, eclipse, and newer ones like brackets (which also sold as paid editor as Edge Code CC), lighttable or google's half-baked collide.
