VSCode builtin terminal is very nice VSCode build/task system is very nice VSCode builtin debugger is very nice VSCode remote editing is very nice There are reasons to like sublime text, but let's not ignore the strengths of VSCode, on top of being open source..

VSCode isn't open source. It's just built on open source. Compare it to Google Chrome being built on open source Chromium.

Why do you need a terminal in your editor. CMD-tab to switch vs CMD-tilda to open the terminal and you get a worse experience in the editor. Same as the build system. https://packagecontrol.io/packages/Debugger https://packagecontrol.io/packages/Debugger is superior to VSCode's debugger. I use vim for remote editing but I am sure you can find something for Sublime if you really wanted to. Sublime Text also has tons of plugins by the way. Just because VS Code is built on top of open source technologies doesn't mean it's better.

  For the same reason you use vim in your terminal, in some cases it's nice to have, sometimes it's not, but now you have the ability and choice to do it I disagree about your statement on the debugger, I tried both Plugins and being able to edit the source of the program are 2 fundamentally different things As I explained above, I fall back to neovim because I can't stand the file previewing when you switch files in sublime text, you can't change that behavior with plugins, you need source access Another argument that you can't defeat: There is this thing with code completion popup that I so annoying in vscode, it being open source lets me fix it without having to wait for the good will of the developer to understand/fix it for me, I did it myself: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/163490 https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/163490

    Well code completion can be customized in sublime as well. I guess if you don't like the preview feature you're out of luck. Personally I like all of sublime's features and it is fast rock solid and dependable. Vs code is clunky, slow, shaky but very extensible.

      That's not true, and believe me I argued with the authors of the LSP plugin for the look of the completion box (look on both discord and github tracker) Example: ST: https://i.imgur.com/sozrgpv.png https://i.imgur.com/sozrgpv.png VSC: https://i.imgur.com/Jcn9ip8.png https://i.imgur.com/Jcn9ip8.png You can't make the label detail (function parameters) less bright, it requires asking for ST to implement an API wich they refuse to do, I tried ;) You choose to not want to understand, that's unfortunate The fact that you also can't even disable the auto previewing of files in sublime says it all (they refuse to let you do it, again, I asked them countless times) When I want a fast editor, I fall back to my terminal now, It not worth my time to argue with devs of a proprietary and closed code base
