I just don't get it. The only difference between SublimeText and a GUI version of Vim is that the keyboard shorcuts in SublimeText don't follow the same command/movement patterns as Vim.

And unlike the author, I feel qualified to speak on this as I've been using Vim for 10 years and SublimeText since version 1.

ST is fancy. It's also pricey. I can save you $80 and give you a script that will set up Vim and all the cool plugins you'll need. In fact I've done just that for some of my students.
