So I have to learn to use your complicated editor to belong to your elite, or what exactly do you mean with this post.

Sublime Text is not frowned upon because nobody cares about the editor you use as long as your code is good. Period.

I don't think there's anything to learn to use sublime. Yeah sure Sublime is frowned upon. People are so much blinded with vim and emacs that many of them try to feel derogatory over others. You will not find this in culture unless you discuss it with your colleagues.

This means, you don't know shit.

So enlighten me. Because the post says absolutely nothing about why we all should use editors other than Sublime. Sublime is massively popular because it's good, it looks good, it's easy to use, it's simple, etc.

vimtutor exists for a reason. There's no such thing for Sublime.

> There's no such thing for Sublime.

Do you really need to "learn" what your cursor keys do and keys like pdup and pgdn?? Weird.

I think that's the point -- when a tool requires a lot of documentation and tutorials to use it, and other tools that accomplish most of the same tasks do not require them, that may be a sign that the tool that needs the tutorials is overly cumbersome.
