I don't think you should rely on other's opinions when picking an editor. Just try each one (really try) for a week or two and decide after that. Everyone uses editors differently (hence the big vim/emacs/etc flame war) and it is where you'll spend time coding. A lot of time. I don't think reading someone else's opinion really helps. When I chose my editor everyone was crazy about TextMate. I tried it out and didn't like it. I was completely afraid of Vim (and all of the jokes about how hard it was) and after I tried it I couldn't stop using it. It's a very personal choice. Just try them out! Edit: typo

So much this, and it applies to things other than editors too. I used to constantly look for people's opinions on all kinds of software to decide which one was best for me due to a belief that if I used something that I didn't end up liking then that time would have been wasted. I've now mostly reversed that habit because trying something out for yourself is the only way you'll know if you will like it, and the time invested isn't a waste so long as you come out with a better idea of what you prefer.

And for the people who find the closed source thing objectionable. You can still have most/all Sublime text advantages : https://github.com/limetext/lime https://github.com/limetext/lime
