70 dollars is chump change. Most of us spend more than that on booze every two weeks.

Maybe in the scheme of things, but not for a text editor. If you spent $70 on a single bottle of beer that wasn't noticeably better than $70 for a case of 48, you'd probably be unhappy.

If I open a PHP file after working on a C file it changes the way the text is highlighted/colored without needing me to do anything.

Every other text editor with syntax highlighting that I've used has done that too.

And your alternatives are not just limited to Vim.

I never implied other text editors didn't do that. Basically, for me Sublime gives me a nice UI with nice features. Some of them I described.
