I'm constantly switching. Right now I'm on vim for js/html and IntelliJ for Java. I've used ST3 quite a bit. I used Atom for a while, Brackets for a while, VS Code for a bit.

The only thing that trips me up really is switching from vim to one of those others, and I sometimes run vim modes in those.

Yes vim keys frequently trip me up.

One of the major reasons I keep vim in my repertoire is that it is on every machine I have to SSH into and it can handle monstrous files. Vim is also better at editing config files (SSH ops stuff) in general since you are typically manipulating and not creating content.
