The problem with Sublime was that when I started the community was already close to dead. proton / spacemacs are more or less a collection of plugins stuffed into configuration layers but if the plugin ecosystem suffers, a tool will become harder. The best vim emulator for sublime, vintageous, didn't get updated for a year. Then there are things that should have been fixed long ago but haven't been. Like relative line numbers still not possible
atom was the natural next step for people that got frustrated with sublime, even though it's slow. The community is massive
For me, I just love editors lol. There's always steps to improve your workflow and each editor has a different approach
I mean, if you're motivated and know python, we can try to push the sublime version a bit 🙂
