No need to fall back to Vim, Sublime has stellar performance already.

Sublime performance can't be beat, but I'm seeing the end of the road for active plugin development. It's getting harder and harder to adopt new tools without farting around with configs all day.

At least, this was my experience trying to get Deno development to feel "right". It feels like vim and VSCode are the platforms that get plugin support nowadays, and the rest are a hack.

Have used: dreamweaver, vi, nano, notepad, ++, atom and sublime.

Sublime so soo superior, it's not even fair. Haven't tried vscode but I understand it's a resource hog.

I reluctantly switched from Sublime Text to VSCode about four years ago, but now it's simply unimaginable to go back. It's heavier, but fast enough to have four or five different workspaces open, in very large projects. The language support, intellisense, and plug-in ecosystem are miles ahead.

I'm curious as to why that is. I would think it's LSP support would close the gap on languages (and intellisense) at least.

Sublime Text (plus Sublime Merge) all the way. I've been on Emacs, vim, nvim and always get back to ST.
