Wait — People are actually still using ST in 2017? And here I was thinking Atom and VSCode had dominated the IDE/Editor environment

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.

Pycharm is very popular.

The 2017 refresh is especially blazing fast and high optimized for low latency input

Remote deployment is the killer feature for me at this moment.

I don't understand this attitude. Atom's look/feel/functionality/default keybinds are based on sublime text. Sublime text is a lot faster/more reliable. Atom has a large community building addons for it.

Take your pick. I used atom until I got annoyed by how it choked on large files and crashed semi-frequently.

i'd just rather use pycharm. https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/

Completely agree. I can't use even the best editor if it doesn't provide basic navigation, and debugging functions. 20 years ago, people claimed that IDEs were bad, but now the situation have changed. PyCharm has almost everything that Sublime has, and even more, there's vim mode, which moved editing to a new level.

PyCharm is the BEST IDE. Cant imagine working without it. It has become a part of how I think about code. The type hints and instant error check it provides for python are unmatched.

It doesn't only works in remote machines, but in docker as well. It's a killer feature. You can have nice UI of OSX and be as close as possible to the deployment platform.
