Reminds me of my early experience with larger-scale JS development (early single page apps or whatever they're called now); there were no good IDEs yet, no module / require system, no types or whatever. Sublime Text and fast global search were my go-to tools, and it gave me a newfound appreciation of consistent naming schemes and structures.
Not so much nowadays though, most of the time I use IDEA with Typescript and the like. And yet, I still feel like I lost something moving away from sublime. I've reinstalled and am trying it again lately.
Sublime Text has had some IDE-like abilities even before the LSP plugin, because its own filesystem code indexer reuses the syntax-highlighting language grammars to power best-effort goto-definition / goto-references functionality. How well that actually works varies by language.
