Keep using sublime, if it works for you. I tried to do the soft sell of vim with tmux to my office, because watching them Alt-Tab between everything, losing or accidentally closing windows, missing little errors because they can't have the editor and terminal up at the same time... It was hard to watch, and made for ugly cluttered demos.

However, watching people try to use vim without wanting to, or taking the time to learn it, just made everyone less efficient, and even more painful to watch.

If you want to learn emacs, then do it. But do it because you want to, or have a need to.

Learn once, use for a lifetime. Sublime or any other small team project that is closed source have a tendency to get neglected past a certain point.

Other than that, emacs has first class plugins for pretty much anything, is easy to extend, and your config and extensions are easy to back up or move to another machine, and can be expected to still work.

The biggest reason is super simple. Emacs works in terminal mode (really well) and can be <insert pkg manager here> installed pretty much everywhere.

If you are ever in a situation where you are working on a remote system over SSH (possibly with low bandwidth) you will appreciate it. Also your terminal is in emacs mode by default, so all your shortcuts work there as well. Finally if you are an OSX user all of your _text fields_ understand emacs shortcuts as well :).

Note: I tried Sublime for approximately one year and don't use it anymore.

Better bus factor.
