I switched to VSCode in a heartbeat after many years of Sublime. I love Sublime, but there are countless more benefits to using VSCode over it, and having 1 second slower startup time is well worth them.

    "A major patch every month" is a plus?

      Not patch in the sense of fixing a pile of brokenness, rather a rapid, ongoing series of improvements. The ecosystem is evolving fast, a slowly changing tool falls behind.

        I guess I am of the camp where I don't want my software changing very often.

        Then sublime is just perfect for you looking at their release schedule...

        Interestingly, VS Code doesn't feel like it changes fast. Most new features are there to use, but not in your face. I just realized the other day(as someone using Code since a few months after its initial pub release) that I've actually fallen far behind on the new features. I need to go back through the release notes and try out a lot of the new stuff. I update every month and it never feels intrusive. Although I usually end up updated after any recovery release(path release) would hit haha :D

  I love Sublime (it's my daily driver) but I've found that language support for VS-code is generally much better than Sublime. Node/ES6 support is generally much cleaner. PHP debugging in particular is very painful in Sublime (not-worth-the-hassle level painful), though to be fair PHP debugging is awful-by-default. The VS code plugins for it are pretty great though.

  - built in debugger with consistent/same usage experience regardless of language you are using it with. - built in terminal - git integration to just name a few on top of my head Sublime fell a sleep to be honest. I have a paid for license and I never use it anymore.

    I'm a spacemacs guy, but the debugger in VS Code is freaking excellent. I've never seen a nicer cross-language debugging experience.

There might be some places where you could say Sublime still beats VSC, but none of them are worth $60 to me.
