I'm totally with you insofar as ST isn't used much as a full IDE. But it's a great as a background text editor and I'd be surprised if not many people use it for that.
I use it to keep a TODO list, analyse and manipulate log files, record temporary notes, and edit big JSON packets. Tasks like "extract all lines which include this phrase, and then delete the first 10 characters" are straightforward. Also it's minimal, clean and feels spacious out of the box.
VS Code probably has similar features, but has a much bigger memory footprint, takes longer to start up, and looks more cluttered. If you're already a dotnet shop with VS Pro/Enterprise subscriptions then it makes more sense to use ST.
