I used Sublime for over a couple years. At the time it was the greatest editor I had ever used. But to get "basic" features (that come default with VScode) required plugins.

And then plugins would conflict sometimes, but there were no answers online to why something wouldn't work because the problems were obscure and rare.

Also, there was some simple copy/paste problems (limitations?) on Linux as well.

I liked it so much that I dealt with all of these issues from nearly day one without complaint. I had tried VScode, and at the time Sublime was just faster smoother and all around more polished.

But I tried VScode about a month or two ago, and it came default with features that I had to use a few plugins (with overlapping and conflicting features) with Sublime.

I was actually sad to switch to VScode, simply out of principle. But VScode is built how I would expect an editor to work by default, where Sublime, as fast as it is, lost some zip after a few too many plugins, and actually has fewer features (that I really require/use frequently) than VScode does.

Also, vscode greatly simplified settings, snippets and other text based settings that I think Sublime could take note of.

Edit: Another note, because VScode comes default with many features, the keyboard shortcuts seem a little more consistent.

I hope Sublime steps up their game, as I think VScode is standing on their shoulders, and competition is good.
