Err?

As a 20+ year vim user, I'm compelled to ask: why not simply carry on
using Sublime Text on Linux?

We use it for Ubuntu-based training courses, and have never yet had a
complaint about it from MacOS or Windows users who've never-knowingly
touched Linux before.

Plus, if you really want to use vim, Sublime Text has a pretty decent
vim mode ... which my finger memory constantly puts me in anyway.
