Use Apache locally too. It's simple, Apache is already installed on Snow Leopard. Install Passenger and configure it (which you'll need to learn how to do for production anyway). Update your gems on Snow Leopard (as Rails is also already installed on Snow Leopard) and away you go. > Can someone advise what the best practices, best tools, editors, etc > to set up Rails development env locally on a Mac?

I personally use TextMate, but RubyMine looks awesome if you don't mind the lag for Java-based IDEs to start up.
