Programmers have high standards for text editors. :) And why not? AAA games are getting bigger and more visually pleasing, so sometimes your machine can't keep up unless it's a newer build. But editing simple text should be an absolute breeze in this day and age on our computers. Even for those of us who are more easily bothered.

I have extremely high standards for my text editor: its features should make me very productive. I am more productive in vim than I am in sublime, but I've never once fretted about the fact that my vim screen updates are gated to the speed that my terminal window can draw, and that's certainly nowhere near as fluid as sublime.
