Your point about task switching is right on. I currently work in 5+ languages on a weekly basis and maintaining an IDE for each would consume most of each day. I also use Sublime -- It works for all languages and I keep a terminal window open to do the work of the IDE. Now... If I could put my head down and work in a single language for multiple weeks, I'd totally setup an IDE, but for a workflow like ours, I agree IDE-less is the way to go.
