I've tried using Sublime with Vintage mode, and about 30% of the time I'm editing, I try a Vim combo and nothing happens. This isn't just for advanced Vim features -- it's for basic things like g_.

There's a VintageEx bundle that extends Vintage mode with more vim-ness. It still lacks vim-surround which is a no-go for me, and there are a few differences in behavior (off-by-one mostly) that constantly throw me off.

Vintage mode is in a pretty ugly point in the uncanny valley.

I love Sublime and have been using it since the beginning of this year but I'm really worried about getting too "invested" in it because it isn't released under a Free Software license.

My old emacs.d still sits in my home folder because I have this fear that Sublime will just stop being supported tomorrow and I would have no choice but to go back to emacs.

I really just wish emacs had an amazing mixed mode, it's the only thing that even made me try out Sublime. All the php mixed modes I tried were really bad and I do a lot of work in PHP/HTML mixed view files.
