Well price-vs-feature ratio is debatable. The thing is that VSC has many IDE-like features, that I don't want in text editor. So everything comes down to a personal preference. And I don't know if somebody will finance piece of software for you, I mean they can, again depending on situation, but I don't turn off the possibility of me personally paying for piece of software that I like.

How so? VSC is approaching 1:1 feature parity with ST at a $70 price reduction. Some features you need extensions for in ST are included with VSC OOTB.

  I am a big vscode user, have a couple of contributions too. But because of perf, sublime feels light weight. Opening up minified and large packaged js files larger than 100 MB, sublime shines. I still have a licence and want to support the excellent work. There's a ton of features in VSC that were inspired from sublime. Minimap being one.

  >VSC is approaching 1:1 feature parity with ST at a $70 price reduction. Speed is a major feature. And battery/memory efficiency is too. And, on principle, I'd pay to NOT have to use an Electron app. That said, I've used VSCode from time to time.

  Well it depends what you define as editor features. Debugger isn't part of editor, at least for me, nor is git integration like VSC has. But speed of opening and editing big files, swiftness in searching and replacing even chars in source code and so satisfying scrolling and good minimap for code navigation are defining factors of text editor. I don't want Sublime to be IDE, I have programable environment called Emacs for that. Integrating everything into editor is cool, to the point where you ask yourself "why am I doing all this?" and erase everything and just start writing code, not code for the editor. Again, this is my _personal_ experience, so take everything with grain of salt. I know your case is different, but I think you can see the reasoning behind my words.
