The goal is not to get feature x into the editor, but solve problem A, and one editor solves that with feature x the other with feature y. If you try to make vim as Sublime like as possible, of course you will fail. But if you really learn vim, you'll see its true power. The same goes the other way around.
For instance I hardly miss auto complete and file trees.
I have to say though, that I'm not one of these vim users who hate Sublime. I think Sublime, Vim, Emacs and probably also VisualStudio are awesome editors. You should just know one and know it well. That means using it heavily for 2 years +.
