Sublime is an excellent editor and anyone who looks down on anyone else for their choice is not doing so because they are a Vim/Emacs user, it is because they are being an idiot.
I feel that Textmate really showed everyone how good a GUI editor could be - we are going back approximately 12 years, and BBEdit, Alpha, Smultron, Hydra/SubEthaEdit were the main contenders at the time.
I concur about Spacemacs, it promises much but things quickly go awry for me whenever I've tried it. Confusion in Vim is easily engineered out in a config or two, and one of the main benefits of learning Vim or its bindings is that it's very likely to still be with me just before I breathe my last.
Text Editors are investments in a fast moving technology industry and Vim/Emacs are a global reserve currency.
