So, it looks like you all are using Windows w/ Hobo.
If all of Hobo components along with some popular gems such as
paperclip work fine with no problems in Windows 7, then I think I'd
better stick to Win development platform.
What do you think?
You'll get my Macbook when you pry it out of my cold, dead hands. :)
But seriously, it's very dependent on what you're most comfortable
with as a developer. I prefer OS X, as Rails work on Windows has
historically been prone to occasional headaches. By far my favorite
was the mess (discussed on rails-talk) where having an antivirus
program installed could cause a race condition when freezing Rails to
vendor/rails. The result was that "gem unpack activerecord" would
scream and die when run programmatically, but succeed without issue
when run manually - something to do with the scanner fiddling
directory permissions for the first few milliseconds after creation.
Finally solved that by adding a 'sleep(10)' statement in the Rake
task...
I'm also partial to not having to think about which set of commands,
etc to use at the command line; "ruby script/server" or "script/server"?
I can't comment on the Ubuntu GUI parts; I do all my Ubuntu work
through SSH to production servers.
