Honest questions: What do you consider an IDE? Do you use syntax highlighting?

I only ask because I use Sublime Text but the most I use is the file browser sidebar and syntax highlighting. I don't use any linters.

I started with Ruby on Rails and Textmate and I've never needed anything fancy, even for 500k line Rails apps.

I use GVIM, no plugins. syntax highlighting is fine and file browser too, but once you start getting into autocomplete and plugins that too much I think. the IDE should not be a replacement for a poorly designed language, and that's what they have become I think.
