This.

I liked the debugging features of IDEs when I had to maintain a gigantic PHP codebase. The hours I stepped through code after one click :D

But after I started with JavaScript, which brought graphical debuggers inside the runtime (Browser) I didn't need this feature anymore...

Also IDE get features slower, Atom and Sublime often have more up to date plugins, which allows the use of more alternative languages like LiveScript.
