I was using vim as my primary coding platform for a decade until I met sublime text. Notepad++, crimson editor never cut it for me but ST impressed me from the beginning and continued to give me features and freedom to do whatever I want (except print). You can't ever hang up vim since it's much quicker to edit using vim when you're ssh'd into a server. But if the files are locally or on a share I prefer Sublime Text for the following reasons:

* Vim in Windows never felt good to me. * Multi-cursor editing * auto-recover unsaved files upon loading the program * snippets (type a little get a lot back) * the ability to use a hotkey to open files quickly * the robust hotkeys, regexs, and visual feedback are on par or better than vim.
