Don't be embarrassed by a cheap or low-quality car. All that means is that you're more likely to not be paying monthly bills to pay off your car. That's a good thing to be proud of.
I've been using Notepad++ as my log-viewing problem for a while and I periodically use it to edit a bit, but when I tried out Sublime I didn't see anything to make me drop Notepad++. It did the same things equally well, but not much more from what I noticed.
