There really isn't much competition though. Sublime is commercial. Many people don't like emacs or vim. Most other editors are confined to one OS (Notepad++, Kate, etc).

When it comes to a full featured, modern editor that works quite well out of the box on most modern OSes, I struggle to come up with any answer other than VS Code.

What's wrong with using Sublime? Quite possibly the best text editor I've ever used. It's snappy, elegant, and it has a boatload of features.

I have nothing against Sublime. But I personally don't use closed source text editors. For something that essential to my livelihood, I like knowing should it get abandoned, that there's a chance of others picking it up (even myself).
