I've been a long time ST user, but when I out of curiosity started playing with Vim and slowly get used to it, I now prefer it over ST most of the time. But I'm glad that Sublime Text is alive again.
Same experience for me. I started using vim about one year ago, and I have been very happy with it. Having to take my fingers off the keyboard to move around a document or highlight things-- it's just unthinkable now. But I'm glad sublime is there, cross platform and easy to use, just in case I'm on some foreign machine and I don't have time to set up my vimrc and vim plugins. I also recommend Sublime to people who are just starting on programming in a language like Ruby or Javascript as it works just like Word out of the box.
