My even dumber reason 5 years go was sublime's extension system at the time didn't allow styling of the file explorer, so git status wasn't available.

The entire editor being easily tweakble is the killer feature of web-tech based editors.

Sublime may have opened up more customizability since then...

It's amazing how much a minor annoyance can drive someone to a completely different solution.

A minor annoyance that happens often is actually a huge problem. I think we as engineers understate how important these little, often UX related issues really are because we understate how important UX is overall.
