Why? Let people use whatever they like. And how can be no benefit, you know the ton of Rails knowledge an IDE like RubyMine brings on the table? When I need to do a session of work on a particular Rails application I use RubyMine. I've been a heavy emacs user for some years, I have used TextMate as everybody else, but with RubyMine my productivity is clearly better. My productivity, not necessarily your productivity. People should remember IDEs are not for running rake task with wizards, I still have the style of working with the editor and switching to the console all the time. But RubyMine has a lot of knowledge about Ruby on Rails. My combo of choice is console + heavy-aware editor for Rails. And heavy-aware out of the box, not after these dozen plugins and these many configuration lines that give you half the experience. I have no relationship with JetBrains, and respect the choice of TM, Vim, Emacs or whatever people choose for working. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
