How is sublime fundamentally different? Sure, it might be shinier and easier to get into, but is it a different "paradigm"? No way.

If anything, vim is the most unique editor with the most unique "paradigm" I've ever really had much experience with. Atom, Sublime and Emacs all seem pretty much the same in terms of how you interact with them.

Pretty sure saint ignucius will damn you to proprietary software hell for dissing on the One True Editor (tm).

If vim is different from sublime, then sublime must, by definition, be different from vim.

Parent is saying that vim is a 70's paradigm and people not stuck in the past enjoy the modern paradigm that sublime follows.

Emacs is also from the 70s, so that's why what he said doesn't really make sense.
