But instead they're written in Node with HTML and CSS as a UI. And honestly, for a text editor, that's a bit perverse. I want my editors fast and lightweight.

It's a spectrum for me. I use Vim for most light things, and a Jetbrains IDE for most very heavy things. Right in the middle is something like Atom or VS Code. The load times and overall weight of an Electron app aren't bad in that context.
Considering Sublime's speed, I trust the one man show more than random contributors.

Believe the main fellow behind Sublime hired the main fellow behind Package Control, which is the reason for the steady updates over the past year or so.
VS Code doesn't even remember window size. I used Sublime for 4 years and I'm trying Atom now. It works fine and has nice features but it's sluggish.
Atom/VSCode are open-source and not written in C++, so they can evolve a lot quicker, with many more contributors than Sublime's one-man-army.
