Sublime Text has never crashed on me (or been slow) and that's why I use it as my primary tool. VSCode is still slow for me, last I checked.


The performance and reliability of subl is unmatched in my experience as well.


I use them the other way around - I do almost all my dev work in VSC these days, but I bought ST3 years ago (ST2 originally I think) and I still prefer it for opening huge log files, XML, etc. which bog down VSC.


For some languages, VSC plays in IDE territory. Compared to other IDEs in the same space, it's pretty similar, if not lighter.
