I think the implication here is a switch of which tool is your "daily driver", the one you lean on for most common tasks.
I keep Sublime around for opening giant files, which it is the best by far, but like many, switched to VS Code for development.
Never tried sublime before but I use Notepad++ for large files. Sublime does look sublime. Does it have a keyboard oriented workflow or is it for the mousey workflows only?
It has keybindings for everything, which is one reason I feel a bit stuck in MacOS as the keybindings are slightly different on Linux. Since I use them for pretty much everything I'd have to retrain my muscle memory quite a bit after switching to Linux.
I've never really had a keyboard-oriented workflow, so I can't really speak to it, but I know there are various tools available like vim-bindings, etc.
Agreed. VSCode became my daily driver for 99% of things, and ST only comes out for very specifics scenarios it does better - which for me means multi-cursor and rectangle select scenarios, since even though some of them are possible in VSCode, they're keyboard-only and nowhere near as simple or intuitive as they are in Sublime.
.....although apparently at some point VSCode finally added Shift+Alt+drag, so now I have no idea what reasons I'd have for opening Sublime.
I never understand the desire to switch. An editor is a tool, and I keep multiple tools. I use VSCode, Sublime and various JetBrains products and often have all 3 going at the same time. They all have strengths and weaknesses.
