I'll give you a hint, in case this hasn't been clear from previous posts. The reason you don't find a lot of discussion about IDEs for Ruby on Rails is because most of us don't use an IDE. The reason is not that IDEs for Ruby on Rails don't exist, it's because we don't use IDEs by choice. I use IDEs for my Java work all the time. Mostly because Java makes it nearly impossible to work without one. My IDE of choice in the Java world is Netbeans. However, not having to use an IDE at all was one of the primary joys of Ruby on Rails, and it's one of the many things that drew me to the framework. This may sound strange to you, but I promise you I'm not alone in this opinion. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
