Turning Sublime Text into a Lightweight Python IDE

Atoms too slow, and I have never felt lacking for using ST, plugins give you linters, autocomplete, autoformatting (yapf, prettier), you can integrate git, though I prefer CLI.

ST just works, is blazing fast and I love its jump to and multiediting shortcuts

People are still using Vim and Emacs, too.

Pycharm is very popular.

I don't understand why there is any reason to move away from ST

A colleague of mine really likes VSCode for Node, as it's more of an IDE than Sublime text. However, for text editing, outside of vim itself, I haven't encountered anything remotely as good as sublime text. Really. Why would I use Atom with all its slowness for most text editing tasks? And VSCode has more features than I need for text editing. Is it particularly pleasant to open a bunch of XML, JSON, YAML, etc files in VSCode?

Before Sublime, textmate was okay but I always liked BBEdit/TextWrangler for OSX best. Crimson Editor was the best thing I could find for Windows in the early 2000's, before I moved away from Windows environment.

I like Atom and VSCode, I wouldn't REALLY call them an IDE.. Try Jetbrain's stuff out.

Atom and VSCode are the new (and newer) hotness in programmers editors, which means they dominate trend-driven discussion. But they probably don't dominate use, even in the sub-IDE editor segment.
