1) Available on most platforms (editing a file on the server.. emacs) 2) Its programable. You can store and replay key commands. I use this frequently to reformat data.. 3) Steep Learning curve, but its fast once learned. Its hard to learn and takes a while. The basics are pretty straight forward, but not entirely intuitive. 4) Its extensible. Though I find it hard to manage add ons. I use Org mode, but sometime have trouble remembering all the key commands. 5)Dired. Look up files and open.

For large projects I end up using the JetBrains IDEs. I think the "knowledge" of the project provides good insight. I think there are add ons to Emacs that will do the same thing. I haven't tried them. If I have to just open a file and edit, I'm happier in Emacs. I wish the IDE's would let you "bring your own editor"

If your happy with sublime keep using it.
