For a language I'm getting spun up on, I use a plain text editor like TextMate. I like to know everything that happens to my code from when it's written until it's compiled/run.

For languages I'm comfortable in, IDEs all the way. I'm particular to the JetBrains suite (RubyMine, IntelliJ, PyCharm, etc). I like the consistency across the different products, and for multi-language projects (i.e. my current project involves Rails apps, Java/Spring microservices, and lots of ReactJS) IntelliJ Ultimate is unbelievably awesome for my productivity.
