Though it has seemed to lose its market share over the past few years, there still isn’t a text editor to date that can efficiently handle what Sublime can. For me, it’s search, multi-cursor selection, OOTB shortcuts, and performance are unrivaled. Do I use VSCode, PyCharm, and Vim for most things? Yes. But when I need to edit text, lots of it, and fast, I always fall back to Sublime. Outside of it not having the things that would turn it into an IDE like VSCode, Sublime just feels like a more sane environment to work in for me, at least for text editing.
Examples: Needing to edit Maya ASCII files (3D DCC) that can easily range from 10,000 to several hundred thousand lines. Most apps can’t even open these files, yet ST processes them like a champ. I’ve opened 3-5GB text files in Sublime before with little fuss. Scrolling performance does get affected a bit, but at least I can do what I need it to do.
