Comments about Visual Studio Code as a Alternative to Sublime Text
xu3eIt is not really lightweight. It uses Electron which eats RAM and CPU!
0castironpancakeThey both are very good, but I enjoy the UI of Visual Studio Code better
-1As an Atom fork it has the same problems like Atom being more an IDE than an editor and the usage of the Electron Framework results in extremely more RAM usage (more than factor 10), CPU usage, loading time and disk usage.
7Have been using VSC for many years, so far so good! Its free

Comments about Vim as a Alternative to Sublime Text
Ron BowmanMuch more options than any other editor. While this is great for the experienced user, novice users could easily get confused.
6terminal-based, open-source, very fast, extensible, text editor and by that I mean it is not intended as an IDE while other recommendations mostly are, can confuse new users, but overall it is very awesome if you can get used to it.

PaulVS Code, but truly open source, and without the Microsoft crap.
0Having used MS VSCode for a while, its refreshing to have a version that is TRULY open source. And if you've used MS's VSCode, than using this won't alter your workforce at ALL.
0Clear user interface and many helpful functions. Just like VSCode, but without unwanted code. The best editor for developers,
