Interesting, it was mutlicursor bugs in SublimeText that never got fixed the drove me to finally switch to VSCode.

Just wanted to say thank you for a fantastic text editor. It feels like a superpower when I show it to non-tech people

This. ST has been my best coding tool for the last few years. A keeper. Thank you!

ah yeah, that one has me disabling word wrapping on files where I wouldn't otherwise.
Hasn't been enough motivation to leave ST though

First off, thanks for years of productive development with ST. I really enjoyed using your software for a long time and it carried me through a significant portion of my early career.
It was a bug where selecting some text and using the key shortcut to multi select the next instance would select incorrect text for certain strings. It was a while ago so I don't remember the details, it may have been some combos of whitespace and non-alphanumeric characters.
It wasn't the only reason, but it was the final impetus to try some other solutions.
