What Is a Text Editor? And Why Does It Matter to Developers?
If you have Windows, you have access to the default Notepad application installed on your computer.
At some point, you would have used Notepad to replace Microsoft Word. But those who work with code understand that while it looks similar to Microsoft Word in terms of providing a writing space, Notepad can do more.
Most modern systems come with pre-installed basic text editor software like Notepad, and you can use them for more than just taking notes and creating documents.

These questions are not asked to the author of Sublime Text, for that please visit: https://www.sublimetext.com/support
Sublime Text is meant to be as simple as possible out of the box and that is what keeps it light on memory/CPU resources. Package Control allows you to add whatever additional features you need and https://packagecontrol.io/search/terminal lists some of the current options. Terminus seems to be the most feature rich option.

Question on: Visual Studio Code

You can add C# support to VS Code by installing the Microsoft extensions with the id 'ms-vscode.csharp' but support for projects is limited. This extension will recognise C# files and will allow you to have a lightweight editor for .cs files but in many cases that is where it ends. Generally, Microsoft recommends Visual Studio as the best solution for .NET projects. Of course, like VS Code, Visual Studio also comes in a community flavour.
The crux of the matter is that VS code doesn't have robust enough support for msbuild and therefor .csproj files. Given that the community edition of Visual Studio exists there may not be enough appetite to change this quickly enough either. The extension above, however, is developed in collaboration with OmniSharp who may work on this support in time.

Disable the extensions you don't need and open less tabs. Only open files that you need at the moment.
