I'm glad I read your post because it helped clarify the editor debate for me. What you describe is not programming but systems administration and Vim sounds perfect. I never understood why people need to go so fast. Me, I'm happy moving the mouse to an insertion point every few seconds after I've pondered the code I'm writing.

As for Sublime, I won't use it. It's not open source and does not give any thought at all to security issues involved with downloading remote package code and executing it, at least not last time I checked.
