ST2 is a great text editor (I like vim more) - and a text editor is what it should be compared to.

Intellij/RubyMine are slow to start (initially) because they are indexing and giving you some of the most powerful refactoring support you could ask for. I sincerely doubt ST2 could will ever match this functionality.

They can be bloated but so can Emacs with all its plugins and so can ST2 by the time it starts to resemble an IDE in features.
