Emacs can be installed on any server (and can be used to edit files on any server, from a client …), and it has smooth fonts and scrolling (if you like that; I turn off the scrollbar). And of course it excels at mouseless editing, navigation & automation. https://github.com/zk-phi/sublimity might be useful to you, too.

Emacs needs to be installed. Vi is already installed most of the time. Especially on embedded devices there is often no real competition to vi.

Interesting is logging into UNIX servers like HP-UX and friends and getting the real VI, not the improved ones.

Sadly, there is no plugin that can come close to the "jump to definition" functionality that IntelliJ have.

Not to mention refactorings such as rename, extract method, etc.

I am a user of both. At this time, I'd have to say the only reason I use Atom is because its markdown support is better (nicer code highlighting right out of the box and a real nice side-by-side live preview plug-in[1]).

Away from the speed thing (which is definitely noticeable on my two year old box), and from non power user perspective, I'd say they are pretty close to equivalent.

It would be hard to ship a full compiler and still be a lightweight text editor... :)

Real Vim competitor !

There is an amazing Vim plugin for Sublime Text, which still makes Sublime my preferred editor: https://github.com/guillermooo/Vintageous

Why wouldn't you use the default Vintage plugin? What's better about Vintageous?

Aren't most people using neovim now?

Not that I know of. I mean, I've been a heavy vim user for years and haven't even bothered trying neovim.

Doesn't that come with sublime by default?

Yup, it works for me with C/C++ code

I have been a Sublime 2 user for 4 years now and have always been content with the experience. When I first used Atom because it was the only browser supported by Hacklang's tooling. What I noticed was how slow Atom was, startup, large files, and typing in text. It is something I have been so used to in Sublime and I could not give that up for unless there is a tool I really need on Atom.

Been using ST2 for many years, then ST3 till last year. Tried out Atom but it was slow and sluggish. Out of sheer curiosity, learned myself some vi from scratch and switched to Spacemacs, haven't looked back since :)
