VSCode does it better than Sublime
I found a few things that VSCode does better than Sublime Text.
Creating new files from the sidebar
When you create a new file in the sidebar file navigator, VSCode asks for a filename first, and only then opens the file itself. In Sublime Text, after clicking on “New File” context menu item, new tab is opened, and you type a filename only when saving. Creating a file first is better, because in this case your file will have an extension, and proper mode and syntax highlighting will be used when you’ll start writing.
Sidebar position (Not actual anymore)
Update: In 2025, Sublime Text has an option to move the sidebar to the right side.
In VSCode, the sidebar can be moved to the right side. This is very useful when you often toggle the sidebar (on small screens, for example) - in this case your code is not shifted to the right side each time the sidebar is shown.
