Developers should learn terminal-based editors for efficient file editing in remote or headless environments, such as SSH sessions into servers or containers, where GUI tools are unavailable meets developers should use sublime text when they need a fast, highly customizable editor for coding, scripting, or text editing across multiple platforms (windows, macos, linux). Here's our take.
