Hey there! I'm a software engineer who absolutely loves crafting web applications. Ruby is my go-to programming language, it's just my cup of tea! But hey, there's more to me than just programming.
I use Sublime on Mac because it is very fast. Sublime is a lightweight editor and i can do whatever I want. In addition there are many extensions for Sublime. I can write my own plugins and I can use them and share them to community. Maybe i can use Vim but learning curve is high for Vim. Using Sublime is very easy and there is no learning curve :) it's just a text editor.
I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
Most editors support plugins, don't they?
I know Vim will let you write one in whatever language you want, pretty much, provided you've got local support for it. I presume other editors are similar or at least support one or two common languages.

I guess the ability to write your own plugin is a big plus.
Not that I cannot do it for VSCode, but not everyone loves TypeScript. But I don't know how at all for IntelliJ.

That is, if you are good enough / editor is simple enough, to develop one.
That's not a point in favour of ST though unless what you're saying is that it has a much simpler plugin interface than other editors?
