Why do you use sublime text instead of vscode?

Because I like it much more.

I've been using it for nearly 2 year now, and I'm very much used to it. I've tried VSCode, but I didn't like it. Sublime is simple, easily understandable, and still has everything I need. If it doesn't include something by default, there are hundreds of packages I can choose from, so I always find what I need.

Does it have extensions like Live Sass Compiler, Live Share, Live Server, Autoprefixer etc. ?

Not sure about those extensions but why would I want to have these in my editor when my npm/webpack build tools handle all of these things for me.

That way all developers on a project can use the editor they prefer and still work in exactly the same way.
If you work alone doing all of those things in your editor is probably fine.

I recently tried to switch to VS Code and forced myself to use it for ~ 6 months. In the end I switched back to Sublime Text.

For me, VS Code is simply to slow and eats all resources it can get If I would like to have something this heavy I would use a full fledged IDE instead.

Sublime has not as much plugins as vs code but it has everything I need and the community is still very active. :-)
