Really though, what matches the multiple cursor behavior that sublime does. Can you truly do that in something else? If so, please point in that direction.
Multiple cursors is by no means exclusive to Sublime, the functionality is available for vim[1] and emacs[2].
The best editor is always the one you use to get shit done, but if you're interested in a (relatively long) talk on the power of vim I'd point you Ben Orenstein's "expert-level vim"[3].
I've spent 3 months using Vim exclusively, and ~4 months with Emacs. They both have their strengths, but the multi cursor plugins for both are vastly inferior to Sublime.
Vim and Emacs both represent a significant investment of time. They have a lot of difficult to remember commands, and require a lot of configuration to get something usable. Sublime Text is drop-dead simple, and is very usable right out of the box. I've switched entirely to Emacs, and I'm happy with the change, but I spend 90% of my time writing code. The equation is going to be different for a front-end developer who spends most of their time in Photoshop, etc.
