What VS Code does better with the multiple cursors?

I am curious.

So far I only see that VSC uses Ctrl+Alt+arrow keys, vs ST using Shift+Alt+arrow keys to create the multiple cursors.

It's been quite a while, so I don't remember the specifics, though I'm pretty sure it had to do with the ability to move the cursors around using things like CTRL+Arrow, end, home, etc. Also believe the ability to highlight several lines and press Shift+Alt+I to add a cursor to each line without having to use the mouse wasn't possible in Sublime.

Since it's been a few years, it's totally possible Sublime has those now. But without a pressing reason to switch, I'll be sticking with what I use now.

It was always possible, I have used Sublime since version 2. Ctrl+Shift+L.

Seems the issue is they use different keyboard shortcuts and that's it.
