To me, it seems like a lot of these light-weight Non-IDE text editors, are basically IDEs anyway. You just said sublime and Vim have most of the features of an IDE.

I personally use RubyMine, and while I don't use the debugging a whole lot, it comes in handy with some really confusing issues. Other than that, it is just a fancy text editor that I have become used to for Ruby work.



I love ST3, but there is no true completion, debugger, refactoring, a way to run tests, Git integration...

Even the build system is quite simple...


For ruby stuff, Vim really shines, mainly because of tpope's contribution and his excellent ruby plugins. Along with his Fugitive (https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive) plugin, it's actually fun to use Vim for ruby. It's just fantastic. Check out his vim-rails and vim-ruby plugins: https://github.com/tpope
