I don't think they "missed the train", just VSCode is free, and there's not enough compelling reason to pay for Sublime now.
I was a Sublime user for quite a while, and switched to VSCode purely because it handled multiple cursors better. Ironically, multi-cursor support was my key reason for switching to Sublime from Notepad++. VSCode is slower, but not enough to actually impact my performance coding.
- Shorel 4y agoWhat VS Code does better with the multiple cursors? I am curious. So far I only see that VSC uses Ctrl+Alt+arrow keys, vs ST using Shift+Alt+arrow keys to create the multiple cursors.
- gmiller123456 4y agoIt's been quite a while, so I don't remember the specifics, though I'm pretty sure it had to do with the ability to move the cursors around using things like CTRL+Arrow, end, home, etc. Also believe the ability to highlight several lines and press Shift+Alt+I to add a cursor to each line without having to use the mouse wasn't possible in Sublime. Since it's been a few years, it's totally possible Sublime has those now. But without a pressing reason to switch, I'll be sticking with what I use now.

It was always possible, I have used Sublime since version 2. Ctrl+Shift+L. Seems the issue is they use different keyboard shortcuts and that's it.
