Code editor is the most required tool for the programming, so we need to pick the best one with wide range of features to enhance the coding experience.
It's really hard to pick one so lets decide together, everyone's opinion matters equally.😇🤝❤️
Happy coding 😇🌍.

I love Sublime, as it's fast, flexible, and powerful.
But I must say that VS Code won my heart and made me way more productive. There're way more valuable add-ons, thanks to the larger community.
wohh 🔥🔥, amazing explanation
Same same but different.
I used vim for over twenty years, but finally converted to VS Code last year. It does nearly everything I want, and is easier to used than vim. For example, if I am writing a Markdown file I can see the visual representation in the same tool. Pylance highlighting is the awesomesauceness that finally convinced me to use VS Code.
The only time I fire up vim these days is if I need to run macros on a file.
Have you tried this? github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim
no, but I will 😇
I personally use VS code, by the way your explanation is usefull 🔥
VS Code/Codium. Hands down. Final answer.
I used Sublime for awhile, then switched to Atom, then to VS Code then to Codium.
Although if you have the duckets, then JetBrains makes a pretty awesome IDE.
Scintilla is right out!

Sublime Text - way faster than VS Code, and every bit as customisable
VScode, but don't really trust my opinion since I haven't used Sublime, I know there a people with strong opinions with Vim, but I'm learning Vim and I'm kinda liking it so far.
VS Code cuz it's what has the Vim integration which is what I've been using the past 3 years or so.
I use OniVim2 which takes VS code extensions as well (But, not 100% compatible and currently not actively developed, but it’s still good). My second is NeoVim with the LunarVim configuration (very fast and very nice). After that, I sometimes use Sublime Text 3 (last one I licensed) mostly for the Text Pastry extension.
The vim emulation in Sublime and VS code are not that great, in my opinion.
I used to use ST for everything now I tend of only use it for opening large logs no other program can handle them as well.
The great thing about vscode is the extensions that are the target for most plugin developers, it had just about everything you coulld need.
What's really won me over are the integrated terminal and remote containers.
With remote containers I can connect to a remote server and use it as if it was a local file system, this allows you to go fully remote ie your "localhost" becomes a remote VPS. Or id you need to work on a project over SFTP but has SSH access then you can connect to it with remove container.
You do have to install a lot of extensions to be fully at home with it, I have 49 extentions installed. But once installed you can sync your settings.
Or another benefit is if you use Github you can edit a public repo in vscode in a browser by going to a repo and simply pressing . on your keyboard or even using codespaces all your settings/keybings and themes are sync to match your local installation.
Honestly its a hard combination to beat.
I loved ST but it hasn't been able to keep up with the likes of vscode or for a full blown IDE there's Jetbrains products like PHPStorm.
I have been using vim for 10+ years now. It's productive for me, because of the muscle memory, and the fact that i don't need to get my hands off the keyboard.
I would say, using one editor consistently for years makes you more productive than using an IDE with 100 convoluted features that you may not even need.
I think Vscode is the Best code editor, considering on the code environment and also productivity which are majorly boosted by the various extensions
