Why is Sublime Text not something to be frowned upon?

I guess it is frowned upon in this way. After 4 years of using Vim, watching other people live coding in Sublime is like watching turtle crawl.

"C'mon faster!!"

Can be a bit frustrating actually.

I guess the reason could be that because Sublime edits are slower, as the live coder explains things, he/she needs to pause the explanation to finish editing before resuming the explanation. This interrupted flow is what actually causes the frustration.

I'd like to see a coding session with vim/emacs with an on screen keyboard map from someone skilled enough to convince me to start learning. Any pointer?

I think vimcast[1] actually does something similar to that. The actual keystrokes are displayed on the screen as he live code the screencast. Check it out.
