I say yes, but I also use both Sublime and RubyMine.

I use Sublime when im mostly working on front end code, but i'll use RubyMine when im working on backend mainly because I get to use object inspectors, break points and step by step debugging.

Of course, if im just working on the front end of my web app, then I prefer Sublime as it has a much lighter footprint.

If you've ever coded in C# and used Visual Studio, then RubyMine will feel more comfortable when you really need to dig deep and debug something.

It's cheap enough, just get it, one day you'll be up to your elbows in spaghetti code and it will save you heaps of time, then you'll be happy you had it.

I do the same (I also use TextWrangler because of its awesome file search/replace features). Sublime is certainly a better editor and feels more lightweight, but the debugging tools in RubyMine are absolutely invaluable.
