Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Netlify

The free tier is an individual account with 300 credits; team members require the Pro plan at $20 a month
Everything is metered in credits, so bandwidth at 20 credits per GB and production deploys at 15 credits each consume the allowance in ways a bandwidth figure alone would not show
Compute is billed at 10 credits per GB-hour, so server-rendered work costs more than static hosting
Running past the allowance means buying credit packs, at $5 for 500 on Personal and $10 for 1,500 on Pro
AI inference is priced by model rather than at a flat credit rate

RubyMine

No permanently free tier for commercial use; requires an ongoing subscription.
More resource-intensive than lightweight editors such as Sublime Text.
Focused primarily on Ruby, so polyglot teams may prefer IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate with plugins instead.
Startup time can be slower than simpler text editors on older hardware.
