The macros are always the deal-breaker. I tried sublime text, set up emacs keybindings, then tried to ctrl-x-( to start a macro and... switched right back to emacs. (and then proceeded to modify me emacs config so it approximated many sublime text features)

I used to be a heavy Sublime Text power user a couple years ago. I found out at some point that while Sublime does market itself as supporting macros, many commands were one of these four

- extremely basic (ie, move left or right)

- poorly thought out

- Straight up not implemented as a recordable macro command

- Buggy
