I don't understand why Sublime Text 3 is not so popular or well known among developers. I've been using Sublime Text 3 for many years because it's incredibly fast and you can install a plugin for everything. It's also very clear and simple.
This is available in pretty much every editor. It is called Emmet. Emmet can do a lot more than just expand simple tags, you should watch a few videos about it and you will like it even more than you do now!
I need some IDE style features out of the box and Sublime Text 3 didn't really cut it for me. It's my go to for editing a one-off file, but VSCode is a nice middle ground between a full blown IDE and a text editor. Atom is just too slow for me.
Also, unless they've improved their sidebar APIs significantly in the last year, there isn't a plugin for everything I want ST3 to do, unfortunately.
It's super performant and flexible and a great choice for a lot of workflows, but I've found VSCode works better for mine
I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
For me, It is because it is not free and VSCode is and it has been developed well for web developers - though I would still prefer sublime if I had the money, and will switch to it later probably. But for now, I get a lot of similar set of features in VSCode so yeah kinda gets the job for me.
I've used ST2, ST3, and Atom (among others), and I can say that it's really down to which defaults you like better and if you need some random feature or package that isn't in one of them.
Also, how much you're willing to put up with nagware. ST2/3 is either a significant investment or periodically pulls a winrar. Atom is roughly the same product for nothing.
I know a bunch of developers who use Notepad++ for everything. Oh, and the one guy who used Dvorak layout and coded in Vim. (I think as a team of developers grows, the odds of having one of those guys approaches one.)
It is an interesting assumption that everyone is in two very specific editors.

It's not "how much you're willing to put up with nagware", it's "whether you're prepared to breach the license agreement and use the software illegally".

Hi ! I actually love sublime text 3 than any other IDE's because of the simplicity. Especially the tab shortcut for html tags.
Exactly. I too use it when designing HTML, CSS and JS Static Web Pages.

Vscode has Emmett baked in. Sometimes you have to declare it for some languages like Vue but out of the box, html/css works great
I agree. Sublime text is light and doesn't consumes RAM that much as compared to VS Code.
vs code is nice but sublime text is king when it comes to performance.

It's closed-source, proprietary-licensed, relatively-expensive, and not an IDE.
