Sublime Text developer here, thank you for all the praise! I'm looking forward to what we can accomplish this year. If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer.

Semantic highlighting! The LSP thing I mean [1]. It's the one thing which I thought was just an aesthetic nicety but actually makes a huge difference. In C++ for example:

- Color virtual calls differently from direct calls to tell them at a glance

- Class members in a different color than regular variables

- Arguments in a different color than locals, in a different color than statics

- Consts in red, mutable variables in orange

makes a huge difference in effortlessly reading the code.

It's not supported in Sublime (though you can hack a kludge to make a basic version of it work).
