This is my same experience. I even install VS Code on remote machines and just use X Forwarding, works pretty well thus far.

I still keep Sublime around as my sorta notes editor where I keep opening new tabs for different things cause everytime I close it (despite not saving anything) it comes back with everything I have, then I wipe all the tabs after a while.

If ST3 had the plugin ecosystem that VS Code has I wouldn't mind using it again. I think ST3 needs to make itself have a much more powerful plugin architecture.

With VS Code I get so much out of the box, with ST3 I have to install the plugin management (I think they might of changed this to be installed by default in more recent versions idr).

To whoever works on either ST3 or VS Code: Thank you, you guys do great work!
