I just went through the evaluation process of those 3.

JuliaStudio was a turn off for me because I could not run against my 0.3rc 
installed version.  It looks like you depend on the version shipped with 
it.  Considering Julia rapid development, this is a big problem.
I also work both in Windows and Linux environments.  I would like to have a 
consistent environment between both.  I have not been successful at 
compiling JuliaStudio on my Linux distro (Mageia 4).
I don't recall whether you can easily send a code-block execution from file 
as you can do with the other two.

LightTable and Sublime-IJulia are very comparable.  Both are easy to setup 
and cross platform.

What I prefer about Sublime-IJulia over LightTable is that the output is in 
a different console than the file, whereas with LightTable it appears 
intertwined within code.
It is not too bad as easy to clear outputs.  It is somewhat cute and I may 
learn to love it.

However, I am not fond of the Sublime-IJulia prefixes like In [3]: & Out 
[4].
Some quick basic test plots were giving me rendering headaches with 
Sublime-IJulia that I did not have with LightTable.
Ant Sublime-IJulia appears to be very slow, LightTable appears much faster.

So far, LightTable has won my heart!  Thanks so much, good enough for me, I 
am actually impressed.  I may prefer if I could direct all outputs to the 
console but need to work a bit more with it to get a better feel...
