As much as this is refreshing, Sublime just works though.

Even Sublime 2 wasn't that bad you'd want Sublime 3. For heavy projects I use IntelliJ. I was happy to pay for Sublime. I remember switching from Textmate to Sublime because it had compelling arguments.

Sublime is the perfect editor between Notepad and IntelliJ. Anyway I hope this is just as good.

Do any of these text editors you mention include a screensaver? I was just trying BREEZE for MS-DOS today and found that feature really appealing. I came back to my desk and the entire UI had just vanished and turned into a field of twinkling stars. I would love it if one of my more modern text editors did that.

Does anyone use desktop screen savers anymore? It used to be amazing how much customization some people put into to something that only appeared when they weren't using it.

More apps need boss mode though.

I do, to lock my mac on demand. I think there's another way to do it now, but I'm stuck in old habits.

Of course, Emacs has zone-mode

What are your thoughts on VS: Code?

Not great with large files.

Still way better than Atom though. VS Code's biggest weakness is the poor selection of third-party plugins. That's primarily why I'm still using Atom.

VS Code is great. But if I start using VS Code, it's because I want more than Sublime, and so I end up just doing it in IntelliJ because, to me, it's the best there is.
