This seems like the perfect time to lodge my complaints ;-) I've been using NetBeans 6.9 for a couple of weeks now and it seems to be disintegrating over time. At some point it became convinced that I'm working with Rails 2.x, which I am not, and now tries to run non- existing script/server. In new files, NetBeans's own templates are not expanded. I never found a way to make the debugger work with Rails 3 and bundler. And, worst of all, at times the editor completely freezes for from 30 secs to over a minute. For none of these I've found a way to cure it. Particularly the freezing problem seems already to have been reported as a bug more than 50 times. Yes, I'm still using NetBeans. The alternatives (on Linux) such as Emacs and Eclipse/Aptana are no more attractive and I've used them both before. Although I more or less know Emacs for 20 years, its features beyond editing are too arcane for me. Aptana, particularly RadRails/Studio for Rails 3, had still many problems of their own, last time I looked.
