I've used a number of text editors over the years: Crimson Editor, Notepad++, Sublime. There are some classic ones that I can manage in, but don't prefer.
Is there any real advantage to going down the vim or the Emacs rabbit hole? Are the solutions offered therein truly that much more elegant than Sublime (my current main text editor)?

Spacemacs masterrace.

There is an advantage in vim in that it allows you to navigate files much faster and macros can allow you to do repetitive actions that would otherwise require you to do copy pasting and a lot of manual editing easier, but you can get fairly solid vim emulation in a lot of other text editors, including Sublime.
I've never used emacs but I hear it's supposed to be better in terms of plugins.
Just stop worrying and use Kate like a normal person.
I can't say I've used Sublime or Crimson, but in my personal experience:
Tweaked Emacs >>>> Tweaked Vim > Vanilla Vim > Vanilla Emacs > Vanilla Notepad++ > Notepad/Nano
In the end, it boils down to a matter of preference.
If you have time to waste, I recommend giving both Vim and Emacs a try, and choose for yourself.

I use emacs for c/c++, as the extensions allow me to have great features (autocomplete, errors highlight, code guidelines, etc).

This sounds about right from my experience.

if only I could install kate (and gwenview) without pulling in all the horrible kde dependencies

Yeah I know what you mean. That's part of the reason why I use KDE; I feel less dirty playing with shit if I'm already swimming in it.
No. Vim and Emacs are meme editors that refuse to die simply because retards think they are epik hakkurs by continuing to use them. They were once relevant but their time has passed.
Spaceman or vim depending on preference. Honestly I'd probably recommend spaceman to most people over vim. I use nvim.
