I agree with the poster on the size of the codebase and the complexity of the code. Quick and dirty is manageable in vim and the like. For anything bigger than a handful of files and build scripts, it's a different story. About 2 or 3 years ago I was introduced to Rubymine (also by Jetbrains), and from there have fallen in love with their products. I have personal licenses for Rubymine, PHPStorm (of which WebStorm is a subset) and use IntelliJ and PyCharm regularly. Their products 'just work' (Linux, OS X and Windows), and the similarities/consistencies between the different editors make subsequent learning curves much less steep. I've been using the CLion EAP a bit, and will likely be paying for a license when it's released (simply because it works that well out of the box).
