This post has nothing to do with Vim, why did you make a comment about how much you love Vim? Is your point that you think Sublime has no staying power so everyone should just use Vim or Emacs?&lt;p&gt;There&amp;#x27;s reasons other than staying power to use an application. If I only used applications that I expect to be around forever I&amp;#x27;d be paralyzed and unable to make a decision a lot of the time.</text></comment>
