It s best if you judge on your own   1  Sublime works on Mac  amp  Linux that may be its plus point  with VI mode that makes things easily searchable for the VI lover UNIX  amp  Linux    http   text-editors findthebest com compare 9-45 Notepad-vs-Sublime-Text  This Link is no more working so please watch this video for similar details Video  Initial observation revealed that everything else should work fine and almost similar  with help of available plugins in notepad     Some Variation  Some user find plugins useful for PHP coders on that  http   codelikeapoem com 2013 01 goodbye-notepad-hellooooo-sublime-text html  although  there are many plugins for Notepad Plus Plus     I am not sure of your requirements  nor I am promoter of either of these editors     So  judge on basis of your requirements  this should satisfy you query     Yes we can add that both are evolving and changing fast

Main advantage for me is that Sublime Text 2 is almost the same  and has the same features on Windows  Linux and OS X  Can you claim that about Notepad    It makes me move from one OS to another seamlessly   Then there is speed  Sublime Text 2  which people claim is buggy and unstable   3 is more stable    is still amazingly fast  If you use it  you will realize how fast it is    Sublime Text 2 has some neat features like multi cursor input  multiple selections etc that will make you immensely productive   Good number of plugins and themes  and also support for those of Textmate means you can do anything with Sublime Text 2  I have moved from Notepad   to Sublime Text 2 on Windows and haven t looked back  The real question for me has been - Sublime Text 2 or vim   What s good on Notepad   side - it loads much faster on Windows for me  Maybe it will be good enough for you for quick editing  But  again  Sublime Text 3 is supposed to be faster on this front too  Sublime text 2 is not really good when it comes to handling huge files  and I had found that Notepad   was pretty good till certain size of files  And  of course  Notepad   is free  Sublime Text 2 has unlimited trial

One thing that should be considered is licensing    Notepad   is free  as in speech and as in beer  for perpetual use  released under the GPL license  whereas Sublime Text 2 requires a license   To quote the Sublime Text 2 website        a license must be purchased for continued use  There is currently no   enforced time limit for the evaluation    The same is now true of Sublime Text 3  and a paid upgrade will be needed for future versions      Upgrade Policy    A license is valid for Sublime Text 3  and includes all   point updates  as well as access to prior versions  e g   Sublime Text   2   Future major versions  such as Sublime Text 4  will be a paid   upgrade    This licensing requirement is still correct as of Dec 2019
