How is sublime fundamentally different? Sure, it might be shinier and easier to get into, but is it a different "paradigm"? No way.

If anything, vim is the most unique editor with the most unique "paradigm" I've ever really had much experience with. Atom, Sublime and Emacs all seem pretty much the same in terms of how you interact with them.

Pretty sure saint ignucius will damn you to proprietary software hell for dissing on the One True Editor (tm).
