Yup, Sublime Text rules. I still use 2.0.1 at work (on a Mac) mainly for Perl and JavaScript. It always works, it's fast, doesn't ever crash. I didn't like VSCode that much (mainly have a problem with the toolbar on the right and don't want to learn new key bindings/menus etc). Also I don't use debuggers that much, so it's a useless addition to VSCode for me. Atom is a lot like Sublime in terms of usage, but it's painfully slow. It is getting a bit better with every new iteration though. I'm using Atom at home for learning new stuff, as Sublime's widgets are fairly different from the general UI in Linux (looks like an editor from outer space) and Atom tends to integrate somewhat better.

Have you used TextMate 2? Possibly the editor with the best integration UI-wise, also, easily the most performant.
No, but if it's not open source and multi-platform (at least Linux and Mac) then I see no reason to switch. That's why I probably ignored it, in fact; also why I keep checking Atom out.
