People tend to imprint on whatever text editors they started with :-)

Gedit is too basic for me, in that style of text editors Sublime is much more full-featured.

Actually (unless I count the time I was a Commodore-using kid or a Windows-using teen *shudders*) IIRC I started with Emacs, though I never really made a serious effort to climb much of its learning curve.

Additionally, if you're on os x, Textmate is basically the other Sublime. While I don't use any of their super advanced features, I've used the two interchangeably essentially without having to relearn any key commands.
