>I switched to Sublime from Vim because it looked prettier

I find this to be a very curious reason to switch from Vim... were you a very experienced Vim user? Ever give MacVim a shot for the different color schemes? Don't get me wrong, I like my editor to look nice also, but Sublime isn't exactly a prettier version of Vim - they have very different strengths and weaknesses.

Yeah, about 5 years or so. I'm using the vim plugins for both atom and sublime. I liked the minimap, and the default font. More importantly, it was hard for teamates to get used to when doing pair programming.

Also, it's not really that different, save for the modal editing stuff. Anything else there is either a plugin, or a clone, or better stuff.
