If you want a good terminal emulator the above is very nice, support for multiple shells, works with WSL... etc.

I use PHPStorm, Sublime and every now and then VS Code, often simultaneously.

Sublime is great for general hacking, scratch pad, logs and certainly more. It’s package ecosystem can put you on par if not decidedly beyond VS Code however the rise of VS Code has made it difficult to keep up with, that and you need to know Python to extend Sublime where as the plugin API for Code is more familiar to those with reasonable JS experience.

Sublime seemed to stagnate with a long time between releases/innovation at one point. Sleeping on the giants so to speak.

Sublime’s speed is unparalleled, that much is inarguable. It’s low footprint makes it hard to ditch entirely.
