it's funny how people praise Sublime Text when plain old Emacs can do most of the things that Sublime Text can:
> 5. vim compatability!
evil-mode - a very advanced vi layer for emacs, probably much better than vintage, I hear only good things about it although I use the standard emacs mode
> 4. Powerful Keybindings in JSON and Plugins in Python
powerful keybindings
(global-set-key (kbd "") 'split-window-vertically)
(global-set-key (kbd "") 'split-window-horizontally)
(global-set-key (kbd "") 'delete-window)
(global-set-key (kbd "") 'delete-other-windows)
and modes (plugins) in Elisp> 3. Package Manager and the More Centralized Community
since Emacs 24 a package manager is included and there are awesome repos for all of your needs:
(setq package-archives '(( "elpa" . "http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")
("marmalade" . "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/")
( "melpa" . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/")))
after that run M-x list-packages
and choose from around 1000 packages> 2. Project Sessions
there are many modes that support that if you want it. I personally don't like it though. "projectile" is pretty nice though: https://github.com/bbatsov/projectile

helm is what you would use on Emacs: https://github.com/emacs-helm/helm
it's awesome
