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...
