Sublime user since 2014.

I tried vim and nvim. Its just more overall effort and I'm never as productive as with Sublime. I tried zed and it doesn't work with Linux. I briefly opened vscode but haven't tried it out earnestly yet.

I think its mostly muscle memory. I'm just too used to the shortcuts, workflow etc. You can teach new tricks to an old dog; I can learn and get used to another editor, but ultimately I always ask myself -- why? I have to get shit done and unless the new thing has some other benefit that compensates for the productivity decline in the first weeks/months/years, it will always be a hard sell.

I hear you. Zed does supply a Sublime key mapping. But it isn't the same. There is something off about it. With all the investment in Zed and its GPU-based rendering, it still doesn't feel as snappy as Sublime to me!
