IMHO, VS Code makes for a fine cross-platform IDE (for those that like IDEs) but is a bit heavy-weight as a text editor.
I tend to use them both in different situations. If I want something that is FAST on very large files or projects, with superb language support for large numbers of languages and markdown - I use ST.

Yep, I switched to VSCode for general day-to-day coding, then to Jetbeans, but I still kept ST3 around for doing things with text. If I want to manipulate some text (even in large files) quickly, thats my goto tool.
New installs get ST3 installed by default, even if I don't have a plan to use it on that machine, I treat it as if it was a Notepad on windows back in the day.
Wonderful piece of software.
