With the caveat that I've relatively little experience with ST, they're in the same ballpark and probably roughly equivalent. BBEdit is probably dated in some ways and mac-only, but _possibly_ even more stable and quicker than Sublime Text.

coding can be slightly more comfortabale with ST depending on its plugins, for instance Julia is a treat given that VS Code can't be silenced to ST-standards [code-sensing-wise : eg ZenMode under Win may only work full-screen; attempting to switch off all code-sensing won't work, always something 'popping-in' when moving abouts in the editor -- that's how M$ is : either overdoing it and not getting the most basic things right or getting part of it right w/out providing options users desperately ask for : they decide what's best pratise for users and that >feel< is exactly not the sort of feel both, ST and BBEdit transpire]

besides, BBEdit can be incredibly fast when it comes to larger files, sorting and in particular regex-search

[never ever employed any Mac w/out ST, BBEdit, FileBuddy and DiskWarrior; HexEdit and few other free utilities, and one could get work done quite efficiently]
