Best IDEs for Ruby on Rails

Rails
21

We are developing tools for ruby and rails and released a plugin for
sublime for searching symbols:

GitHub - sourcegraph/sourcegraph-sublime: Sourcegraph for Sublime Text 3

It’s based on a global index we are building for open source ruby code
so
that you can accurately search for examples of a particular class,
method
etc. The plugin is at a starting point but we hope to develop it
further. I
like emacs too and we are thinking about also making plugins for emacs
and
vim.

Let us know what you think.

That’s true. I used RubyMine to develop the Ruby part in my project and
it
was much more helpful than editors and command line. I developed program
analysis tools for languages, so I know how much more advanced are IDEs
compared to text editors. They are qualitatively different. JetBrains
does
a great job.

All the replies are very helpful. Thanks for sharing.

One Vim to rule them all

There is a world behind Vim+plugins

Here my plugin list v-ide http://crivotz.github.io/v-ide/

However Vim has a long learning curve, so if you do not have time
Rubymine
may be the solution

Thanks,

+1 for RubyMine. It’s an excellent, affordable ($50 for a personal
license)
IDE. I use scripts a lot, but for code editing and debugging it’s a
great
tool.

I’m in the vim camp, and while that vim loadout looks very impressive, I
find you don’t need too much, if that is not your style.

Ones I would absolutely get for rails though: rails.vim ( rails commands
),
fugitive.vim( git commands ), matchit.vim ( better bounds / fold
matching
), and FastFolds ( deals with some syntax folding issues re: speed due
to
new regex engine ).

Learning curve isn’t gentle, but I found myself up to speed in ~2weeks.

My RubyMine currently has four projects open for several days and is
sitting at around 600MB RAM (160MB compressed) according to Activity
Monitor. In 2015, I wouldn’t consider that “heavy” (my browsers are
using
far more). It’s a very responsive app, in my experience. It’s full of
well
thought out and well implemented features like a UI to select which
files
to check in, easy to review diffs, refactoring, completion, etc. Totally
worth the small outlay considering the time it saves me.
