I doubt Sublime is faster than vim. And I doubt it's faster than opening a new file in emacs which is always running on my system. It seems that your definition of "ANY other editor" is limited to bloatware like Atom, VS Code etc.

It does do some things faster than vim though: https://github.com/jhallen/joes-sandbox/tree/master/editor-p...

You are mostly right, "ANY" was a poor choice of words (not to mention my unnecessary all-caps emphasis), and of course now I can't edit the post. Oops. I meant out of any of them that I consider using (I know I'm a heretic but I just can't get into fully keyboard-based editors like vim, emacs, etc).

But it does include other non-bloated apps that come close in speed, but don't have the feature set the way I want like TextWrangler, CotEditor, Geany, TextMate.

I think TL;DR - I am very picky about text editors, probably too picky.

Force yourself to use emacs for a week and it will change your life ;)
