What is considered the hot setup these days?? I think to each his (or her) own, but I’ve been really happy with the recent milestones of NetBeans 6. The Ruby/Rails integration is very, very nice, and the debugger is unbeatable as far as I’m concerned. A lot of people really like TextMate if they’re on OS X, of course. I’m not sure what the Windows folks use. I’m sure they can tell us. 🙂 -Bill ---

I’ve been reading things about NetBeans/Ruby for a lil while but only tried it tonight after your recommendation pushed me over the edge.

What is considered the hot setup these days?? I’m running RadRails + Flex Builder2 in MyEclipse on Vista, and it’s working great. The database is Oracle via OCI8. The only time I ever have to work outside the MyEclipse IDE is when I copy the generated Flex files, so they can be picked up by Mongrel (or WEBrick, etc.). That’s because I have two separate MyEclipse projects: one for RoR and one for Flex. ---
