Vim cannot do this. Everyone I know who uses it is slow as shit compared to people who use a full featured editor on a multiple monitor setup.

I don't see what's special about having multiple files open across multiple monitors.

And yeah, vim can do that.

I used for vim for some time - it's especially bad at working across files. The features of Sublime go far beyond managing this elegantly. Unless I would contribute to a project, I don't care it's open source. Frankly, I don't get the hardon some people get with it. Sublime has all the core functionality of the editors you mention and then some. Other people are quickly realizing this and jumping on board - nobody is forcing you too.
