The point of the course is to teach CS students how to use their tools. Are they expected to only use tools available on every single linux system by default? Are they also expected to not download anything else that isn't universal across unix systems? Not being aggressive, just pointing out how I think it's still a biased choice. I despise Vim but I wouldn't teach Sublime-only, I'd give a brief overview of vim, emacs, sublime, vs code, and let students choose.
