Emacs is great, and Sublime has many drawbacks, as well as some poorly implemented features (like, the macros are basically worthless except for a very select few operations)... But Sublime Text simply outclasses any other Text Editor in the Simplicity + speed vs complexity. Sublime's project goto functionality is simply unbeatable, it is faster than any Vim plugin I've ever used, it starts up faster than Emacs, it requires _no_ configuration to be a great text editor, it's the text-editor embodiment of easy-to-learn, hard-to-master. Emacs is really something you need to actively learn, while you can just pick up Sublime and use it effectively within the first minute of opening it.
