Are you looking for a full-on IDE or just a better text editor? I use, an highly recommend, TextMate on the Mac. The is something similar to it on Windows called the "E Text Editor." If you are looking for a full-fledged IDE for Ruby take a loot at Netbeans 6.5. It seems to be about the best Ruby support I know of in an IDE. People may think it's strange that I really prefer a good text editor like TextMate over an IDE. Especially, since I live in an IDE all day for my Java "day job." But, Java just isn't practical without an IDE these days. Here are some things I dislike about IDEs: 1. Most are written in Java. The exception being Xcode, which is the only IDE I actually enjoy using. 2. IDEs tend to lock you into a single vendor. In our case that's Oracle with their JDeveloper IDE. 3. I HATE Java programs. 4. I REALLY HATE Java programs. 5. IDEs have a tendency to make bad assumptions. "Oh!. Here's what I think you're trying to do, I'll go ahead and make that edit for you." I swear, I spend half my time removing crap that the IDE thinks I want. 6. I'm a programmer. I don't need help with programming! What I need is help editing text. TextMate is perfect for this because the developers spend their time thinking about editing text/code. The built-in text editors of most IDE are horrible at editing text. 7. JDeveloper startup time ~30 seconds. TextMate Startup time < 1 second. 8. mate . This is all a matter of taste, but is probably the primary thing that drew me to Ruby on Rails in the first place. A development framework that's logical enough to require no IDE is worth it's weight in gold. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
