Sublimes' skeleton is excellent- Python extensions are a pleasure to write compared to VS Code.

HOWEVER it desperately needs a UI/UX polish pass to stay competitive:

* Drag and drop in the sidebar folder list.

* Drag and drop tab to create 2+ column view.

* Focus the open tab if a file is already open in any Sublime window.. Please stop opening duplicates- one mistake and you've overwritten your work.



The first two points are a good illustration of how varied an audience may be. Most of the time I see people striving to make their text editor experience such that they don't have to reach for the mouse at all.

The last point is a good illustration that your product may have terrible bugs that destroy user data, and still be well-loved because the overall experience is slick, and certain other capabilities are second to none.
