If you are a sublime person, micro is your terminal based editor. Built in sublime style multi-line editing, built in super simple plugin management, intuitive tabs and splits, keyboard shortcuts you are familiar with, clipboard works across apps, shifting the current line up or down one line at a time visually (bubbling I think it's called) etc.

Features that require plugins in sublime also come standard and are incredibly useful, like using it as part of a pipeline or my single favorite editor feature of textfilters, like the sublime filterpipes plugin. Meaning if I know how to do something using a regular cli tool, you just do that without having to do it in some new way. For me that means I can use Micro as an interactive front end for xsv for giant csv files of questionable provenance which require some hand fixing as well as some large scale transformation.

Since 2.0, the stability on enormous files has also been off the charts great. It will open and be ready to work on 1gb+ text files faster than wc can tell you how long they are.

Anyway, as you may have noticed, I am an enormous micro fanboy, sorry not sorry.

I don't see it (other than the color scheme). It doesn't come with a file manager or typeahead for the command interface. I've already hit a showstopping bug just trying to save a file. It's been a while since I was actively using Sublime but it doesn't feel like it at all.

It looks promising though. I would love for it to become feature-rich and replace the mess that is vim.

I'll admin vim has problems, but unless it supports vim-style keybindings and modal editing, it's not going to replace vim (there is an issue for that though https://github.com/zyedidia/micro/issues/643)
