Frankly speaking, I never considered mention of sublime text in such 
context as endorsing it. Even though such linking might cause transition 
in both direction, I thought it was targeting mostly current sublime 
users. I believed that:
- It makes first step toward using Org easier since such possibility 
becomes discoverable through search engines.
- It reduces friction in heterogeneous teams when an Emacs user proposes 
to use Org markup. Later demonstrating features of real Org Mode may 
become a convincing argument to try GNU Emacs.

As to search engines, some page on Worg may work almost as well. 
Visitors of the main page who came noticed a mention or a link has less 
chance to be hooked however.

Actually I considered Atom and VS Code (that are still on the main page) 
quite similar. I admit that they are open source, but are available 
packages are really free? Maybe my opinion was just distorted by a 
mention of a project aiming to remove telemetry code from VS Code, 
however even that code is actually free, not to mention that privacy is 
completely distinct issue.
