I'll quote Wynn Netherland on a post about his take on the very same problem:
"I'm a Rubyist. But I'm also a pragmatic front-end developer. When I have to write a full-stack solution, I pick Rails or Sinatra because writing Ruby is a joy and the Ruby ecosystem is so darn cool. But when I have to create a CMS-based site for myself or a client I love the usability and community behind WordPress. Although I can reluctantly lay Ruby aside when I extend WordPress, I really miss my syntactically awesome stylesheets. Until now."

Reed Esau creates a bunch of vim plugins for writing, I've found them to work very nice:
