Eventually everyone's editor search ends with vim, emacs or a management position. All these editors like Sublime Text 2, Chocolat, Light IDE, Cloud9, etc fail at very basic task: sticking around. They also fail at another task: being available everywhere.
If a new decent editor shows up, it wont be shiny, it wont grab headlines on HN with a fancily designed website, it will simply grow popular slowly, be added to package managers across platforms after withstanding the test of time. The test of more than one person or just a few developing it and then moving on to something else.
With vim and emacs you're guaranteed to not be wasting your time learning their arcane ways. Long after humans have left the Earth someone will be reprogramming a couple of launch tubes on their trans-stellar space vehicle with vim. They wont be using this fluff from Adobe.
