The line between advanced text editor and lightweight IDE is basically non existent.

Plenty of former sublime users are on VS code now.

I use VSCode for programming (Typescript), but it's also become a great replacement for my usual native text editor (Notepad2). I love how performant yet, feature-packed and extensible it is, and since I keep my notes in Markdown format, the `yzhang.markdown-all-in-one` extension is really useful.
So? Plenty of former VScode users are on Sublime, Vim or Emacs now.

I really don't get your point.

The person I responded too was saying that Sublime and VS Code are incomparable because they are different types of software.

I was disagreeing with his distinction between advanced text editors and lightweight IDEs.
