commercial portfolio.
One issue though is they come from a Delphi background and would like some kind
of RAD environment. I have pointed
I should add that they are looking for a drag and drop GUI builder. While I am
familiar with NetBeans and Ruby Mine, I am not sure if they provide a GUI
builder as such.

Remember that whatever visual components you're talking about here are
actually happening in the browser. There's nothing coming from Rails
itself. Rails will merely render HTML through helpers or what have

Sounds like you're looking for is something
Essential they are asking for a GUI builder for the end applications
User Interface?
Maybe Dream Weaver?. Just bare in mind that there is no GUI builder
for HTML/CSS that doesn;t produce crap and difficult to use HTML/CSS.
That is why *NO* one uses them and you hardly ever see them.

You need to convince the team that they don't need it and just use a text
editor (or at most Ruby IDE).

Daryl,
I hate to be a killjoy, but from what you've written, it sounds to me like
you're partly picking Rails because it's what *you* want, rather than what the
