sometimes you do work right in a terminal.

I use Sublime for almost everything, but sometimes I edit code I have on some servers where I don't want to manage a whole git repo and do pushes/pulls. I have vim and a .vimrc on those -- I could imagine replacing them with neovim if it had something shiny enough.

I also sometimes end up just popping open a file locally, e.g. a config file or a one-off script, and I don't want another sublime window for it. I think I may even have less bound to open up vim, for syntax-highlighting reasons.

I'm not saying other people need to do what I do, just explaining that some folks like me like good terminal editors, even if we've moved a lot of daily driving into other applications.
