Now I only hope they add in hot-disk support.

Sublime Text 3 checks to see if the currently opened version differs from the file system. If it does, it prompts the user to keep the current version or replace it with the disk version. VS Code just replaces the current version with the disk version and doesn't retain history so you can't undo this.

I lost about an hour of work yesterday because I had a file open in both VS Code and Sublime Text. Pressing save in Sublime Text wiped out all changes. :(

Thanks Tyriar!
Sublime's updates are dismal. https://www.sublimetext.com/blog/ I had to switch to Atom just because the development is stagnant. I liked Sublime very much. But it's been 2 years already..
But what is missing in sublime?
The official download page says "Sublime Text 3 is currently in beta" It's been like that for years. First build is from January 2013, it's almost 4 years already. I don't know what specifically is missing there, I just know I'm not comfortable using beta version (with little hope it will ever come out of beta) of a product for daily work. I see it as even developers don't consider it stable enough.
I think that sublime text 3 beta is like debian testing, they are more solid that some others lts products.

VScode and Atom are constantly receiving new features. So we can say that they are still in beta too.

Beta is just a word.
