Honestly and evenly, if I'm a proficient vim/emacs user, why would I want to try this out?

I know there's plenty of market not underneath that hypothetical, but an editor has to answer that question to even register with me these days. I also assume I'm not alone.

Yeah, you're probably not the target of a full GUI editor... question probably isn't even worth answering.

What is a "full GUI editor"?

Vim and Emacs both have (optional) GUIs, but I've never used Sublime... am I missing something?
