I'm impressed with Sublime Text after trying it out with some dedication — it has a lot to offer, and I'd recommend it over Emacs to someone just starting out, unless they think they might want to learn Lisp. But I think the author was right in saying that Emacs is more serious right now, even though I think Sublime Text will get there.
