Theoretically IDE is better but Visual Studio
1. Loads a solution 20 seconds.
2. Hits OutOfMemoryException regularly after which it can randomly crash or do funny things.
3. Can't run for longer than a day.
4. Can't work on more than one solution at a time. Combined with 1 switching between solutions is pain in the ass.

Text editors may have less features but they're not so annoying, they just work. Well, I agree, the net productivity of visual studio is still higher, but it's tricky to stay sane working with it.
