It's a common fallacy to associate quality with price. Generally yes, but not always. Sublime Text certainly isn't 70 dollars better than Atom or VS Code.

For me, it is. Some of the main points that makes it worth money to me are the plugin ecosystem is huge, the editor is fast, its layout management (panes in columns/rows) is incredible, and it was the first editor I had that gave me multi-cursors. I like where VS Code is going and I try to use it when I can, but most of the keybindings and shortcuts I have memorized are for Sublime and IntelliJ based IDEs.

It's unfortunate to see that the group who named their extension "Vim" is being recognized as more or less the official recommendation for Vim emulation, despite being not so good. The last time that I did a survey of feature completeness, performance, and code quality, the author of the amVim extension had a much better showing across the board--and more active involvement in VSCode extension APIs themselves.

Why would you use VS Code (even with vim keybindings) over vim? Is there something you can't do in vim but can in VS Code?

I really liked Visual Studio Code, but I couldn't really use it without a Vim plugin. So over the last few months I've been working on this one: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vscodevi... I think it's gotten a lot better, and if lack of vim keybindings was something that was holding you back from trying VSC, I highly encourage you to try it again!

Try WebStorm. I'm surprised at how few people use it, given the quality of the autocomplete and code assistance (and the fact that it works just as well with ES6 as it does with TypeScript!)

Surprised?? With $120+ per year subscription I am surprised people use it.
