I was using Sublime Text for many years. Even after Atom came out I still used ST3. However, ST development is understandably slow compared to VSCode and it is now so far behind that loyalty isn’t enough of a reason to continue using it.
I love Jetbrains. As a company, how they treat their users, the way they do subscription models (subscribe yearly, and if you unsubscribe, keep the license for the version you have still, including the ability to re-download that version), and just the prodding quality overall.
I’ve been using sublime since forever as well; Atom never really felt like a valid alternative because it was so so slow. VSCode still feels kinda slow but not to a degree that gets to be annoying. Still I could never get used to it. It breaks some system keyboard shortcuts that I use heavily (alt + arrow keys for example) and takes forever to parse files (to make a list of all functions in the project for example).
I wish sublime would update more often and have all the cool new things that come to VSCode every other week, but at the end of the day it still works better and doesn’t really lack anything that’s actually useful (except maybe for a few months before st4 came out).
It’s basically one click in VS Code. It’s more clicks in Sublime. 🤷♂️ Turning Sublime to a full blown IDE for a bunch of different programming languages takes work and I’m lazy.

And so does Sublime Text: CTRL+SHIFT+U for inserting Unicode characters doesn’t work in it. :(
I recently switched from ST4 to VS Code (Codium actually) because of this and because it’s easier to set up a Python debugger.
I would imagine that setting up a python debugger would be the same on both since sublime also use vscode’s debug adapter protocol.
