It's hip to hate Sublime because it can't do X that Emacs or Vim can. There's a lot of criticism of ST by people who never actually used it or used it for a couple of minutes. Pathetic really.

I haven't seen a lot of hate in that direction. As someone who uses ST almost primarily, my biggest complaint is that it's not open source and free, which is going to stunt it's growth and keep it from being a real competitor with Emacs or Vim.

I use sublime for WordPress because it doesn't use PEAR coding standards and that's what my emacs phone is setup for (also you don't have to set up multiple major modes).

Everything else is done in emacs because it is the better editor. Just wish it was pretty.
