From Vim to Sublime Text
This is opionated post about Vim cons and Sublime Text pros. I like to use both. I am using now almost exlusively Sublime Text and I am content. Vim motions are zen, but the editor itself is not.
Vim cons
very limiting insert mode
colorschemes
not intended as IDE, doesn’t work with directories very well
defaults are only good for configuration files editing
with lot of plugins simulating e.g. Sublime Text behaviour its rather slower
plugins cant work async IMHO, terrible for linting, formatting, etc.
Sublime Text pros
a lot of great plugins including Vim motions, Git and Markdown with outline, colorscheme chooser with immediate preview, find and replace all occurences in new file view
has outline, fuzzy file opener and more as default
clever by default (closing tags, parenthesis etd, clever deletion, formatting)
understandable directory / project management and configuration
text file configuration, that is optional
multiple cursors, can’t be really reproduced in Vim because of its limiting insert mode
nice details (rounded selection, beautiful selection and cursor)
nice font rendering
simpler to create colorscheme, there is a lot of them (quite important for me)
quickest startup and good overall performance
async linting
Vim pros
has good plugins like nerdtree (the best thing for file management)
motions that can’t be reproducible in another editors
