Well it depends what you define as editor features. Debugger isn't part of editor, at least for me, nor is git integration like VSC has. But speed of opening and editing big files, swiftness in searching and replacing even chars in source code and so satisfying scrolling and good minimap for code navigation are defining factors of
text editor.
I don't want Sublime to be IDE, I have programable environment called Emacs for that. Integrating everything into editor is cool, to the point where you ask yourself "why am I doing all this?" and erase everything and just start writing code, not code for the editor. Again, this is my _personal_ experience, so take everything with grain of salt. I know your case is different, but I think you can see the reasoning behind my words.
