IDE and other tools for Rails on Ubuntu

Rails
1

Hello all,
After yesterday’s drama with MySQL, I now have a working development
environment for rails on Ubuntu. Now, I must ask, what IDE do you use
and why? I’m fairly content with the plain old text editor and the
commandline, but I want to make sure I’m not missing out on any really
useful tools. In fact, are there any other tools you’d recommend that
make day to day development of rails apps easier?

Stay in the know. Pulse on the new Yahoo.com. Check it out.

RadRails or JEdit w/ Ruby plugin - the former has more Rails specific
tools like generators especially helpful for getting your app started.
The latter I find better as a plain editor, and it has lots of useful
plugins. (Perhaps Eclipse with the RadRails plugin and then other
plugins, would also be helpful.)

I’m loving emacs with rails-emacs

I’m using RadRails, it’s still missing some features and maturity but it
saves me a lot of time. I have a soft spot for Eclipse too :slight_smile: Give it a
try,
it’ll rock once the debugging support is included.
