Both Rubymine and Aptana can be a bit slow / bloated, and they do have different feature levels (last time I looked). As they are both Java based you gain the benefit of the introspection which allows the intelligent completion of method name.The choice of an IDE is subjective, as is any editor, I use Atom at home and vim at work, but that is because my work code is in a controlled environment for security reasons.
I am wondering if a painless transition from an IDE to the use of editor + terminal is possible, especially for beginners like me that have started to study with an online IDE.
To be honest I would be inclined to make this transition, since I really like Atom, and as far as I have understood what remains to fill the gap with an IDE is the use of the terminal in a separate window. I would not mind to switch from Atom to the Ubuntu terminal: is this the only difference? The discomfort of switching windows?
I am wondering this as an inexperienced user, perhaps I am still unable to understand what is behind an online and an offline IDE.
As I said, not considering the disadvantages (customizable paid service, which means low resources if you are short of money), what strikes me most of an online IDE is the possibility to login whenever you please into your workspace and find it as you left it, without the need to reload your environment (I am thinking for instance about version control with git and the chance that I have to use a different computer): how far would I be from these benefits if I choose to develop offline?
