   What are some reasons to pick Sublime Text over Zed for someone not familiar with either?

      Sublime text is what notepad++ wished to be. There are many tasks that do not require a full IDE, not even vscode and sublime just works. Always, consistently, reliably works, is fast and a joy to use.

         Nonsense statement, Notepad++ has always been superior in every metric

            Notepad++ is like if Word 98 and IrfanView had a baby, a baby who updates twice a week. No disrespect to any of them, but having a clean interface and killer performance was never their claim to fame.

               Are you kidding me!? You can have hundreds, even thousands of tabs of files of any size open in Np++, close without saving, and yet get back instantly on the same session when you start it up next time. Notepad++ is literally faster than Microsoft's own native Notepad, let alone Sublime Text. Even 50GB csv files open instantly in Np++.
