Because "grep and multi-file search/replace" is not exactly what a front-end developer does.

If you try to do actual programming, instead of grepping and replacing, SublimeText (and Atom, though slower) are much more featured. From build systems integration, to "go to function" and myriads of plugins for linting, AST based auto-complete, etc etc.

to me a lot of "features" just get in the way. i code css/html/javascript, and for that bbedit seems to work better than submlime or atom.

however i guess for other, more complex situations, having more add-on options and such might be beneficial.
