If ST is 90% beautiful, and IDEA is 0% beautiful, then I will choose Sublime even if it's 5% less functional. There are other factors at play such as speed; Sublime is lightning fast, IDEA is not. And afaik, IDEA does not support Sublime-style multiple carets.

It really depends on what you're doing. For me (Java), IDEA is about 50% beautiful but 500% functional, and that's what leaves me with it.
