Is Sublime super good for webdev or something? Does it have a bunch of indespensible plugins for webdev? I cant see upside when comparing it to Vim, but I see lots and lots of folks rave about it so im willing to admit I’m wrong but would like to know why people love it so much.


For me the killer feature of ST is multiple cursors. Despite being relatively fluent in vim, that one feature has always prevented me from switching.


Are "multiple cursors" in ST the same as "visual blocks" in Vim?


Visual mode is slow and awkward compared to what ST can do with cmd+D, for example.

IME, vim actually loses in performance too when editing multiple lines.
