I would have to agree that an IDE is a little bit over the top for Ruby
and Rails development. When I was developing on a mac, I used Textmate.
It has been often described as emacs for mac. Needless to say, on
Linux, I use emacs. I use a nice collection of plugins from
Well, here we have it, everyone has their favorite and if it makes you
more productive and your development time more enjoyable, good on you.
Personally, I think diversity is a good thing. I for one don't really
like all-in-one IDEs, other people do. Linux people generally already

Peter makes very good points. Thanks for the wrap-up. (And I was just

Yiannis has a valid point too. There should be a nice X-Platform IDE
that ships with Ruby core or is at least considered the de-facto
standard. Some people just

This is discussion has been very helpful to me: I'm learning Rails
(and Ruby), so far I've primarily been using Emacs and command line.
But I also I had given NetBeans (and a couple of other IDEs) a brief
try on the off-chance that I was missing out on something that I would
like to have.
I found
Aptana, particularly
RadRails/Studio for Rails 3, had still many problems of their own, last
time I looked.
If that was Aptana Studio 2, it might be worth another look at Studio

comment on how it looks or behaves under

Hi,
We are using Netbeans since early 6.x versions, and are very happy
with it.
RubyMine is also an excellent choice, but you'll have to buy it.
For the Eclipse part of the question, there is two solutions :
- Aptana
- 3rdRails (not free)
but I was not please last time I gave them a try.

I think NetBeans 6.9 is a good choice for beginners (hints, checks
syntax etc.), and then they can also move to Terminal+TextMate or any
other hardcore text editor ;)

You will get lots of opinions, but the only way to know for sure is to
try them out, and see what works for you. Even then there will be lots
of features that are not apparent or exposed at first, so you need to
take a bit of time to get to know them before making a decision.

Netbeans works well, if you're concerned about the bloat/response
