But note that it's a license per user, so you can use a sublime text editor on as many devices and operating systems as you wish.

There are many advanced features are available in the sublime text editor you would expect from a top text editor. The sublime text editor is extremely lightweight it means it needs low resources than other editors to work smoothly. There are many advanced features like multi-edit, auto-fill suggestion, and primary features like shortcuts and search tools for immediately finding certain functions and making changes to multiple lines at once.

With help of an atom text editor, you can access an open-source text editor with a developer in mind. In fact according to the creators of atom they made it just for developers. An experienced developer should have no problem working with Atom.
