Actually, rendering is often faster in Sublime Text than in vim. I am a vim user and use the 'cursorline' and 'relativenumber' options and until recently I could notice rendering slowness on OS X and Linux. Things seem to have gotten better recently (either in vim or due to hardware advancing), but I never saw such slowness in Sublime text.

(I wanted to like Sublime and have a license, but Vintage mode is a too leaky abstraction/emulation for me ;).)

Not s solution, the things I use in vim is not in Vintage. hjkl navigation and yy is not enough for me.

Vintageous has tons of options on top of "hjkl navigation and yy". All kinds of Vim-y stuff is there.

I hope so, but it'll require significant improvement. From the command line, "subl ." loads almost immediately, whereas "atom" can take 10+ seconds. (on a MBP with 16gb + SSD)

Ten or twenty years is a long time to wait for the hardware to improve so your editor is performant.
