I understand the points you made for Sublime. It gives all most of functionality out of the box without having to remember shortcuts or key bindings. However, your criticism of Vim felt weak to me. Your pain point sounds mostly like a misconfiguration on your part. I have been using Vim for almost 8 years and have used heavily configured to minimal setup. One thing I learned is the issues is always with bad configuration. > my tab key was bound to tons of different things like autocomplete, snippet expansion, indentation, moving between snippet fields and inserting the literal tab character.

Clearly, you shouldn't have used tab to do all the things, it is bound to create confusion, if you use tab for everything.

Mouse support is first class in Gvim/Macvim.
