If the time learning a set of tools is enough to make the choice between tools, I suggest avoiding, say, Vim. I find that going for whatever makes you most productive is more important than trying to minimise the learning time. Most software is much easier to learn that Vim, if you have to replace it after 10 years or not. YMMV. --- OP, I suggest Sublime Text as an editor 'cause that's my editor so it must be the best choice. It's no IDE, though, if it really matters to you.
