Compared to VS Code: Speed. Textmate opens files instantly, VS Code takes forever to open a new window.

Compared to Sublime: Better Find interface. I really hate the sublime multi-file search result list, it seems like a hack, not a real interface... I just don't get why they would do it like that.

I just timed it. Opening a new window on the PC I'm using right now takes between 70 and 72 frames, or between 1.16 and 1.25 seconds. On the rare occasion that I do it.

I understand that everyone is a leet uberhacker who is thrown off their flow by a butterfly farting on the breeze, but this is princess-and-the-pea stuff.

One thing that is nice about the way sublime does it is that you can search the search results. Since it shows the found search items contextualized, it can be useful to search the contextualized parts.

You can copy the search results in TextMate, then paste and continue your second search.
