Short of using vnc or a terminal connection, anyone found a decent if

Rails does not need or benefit from a real IDE. I dropped Aptana and
NetBeans and use KomodoEdit for Rails development. jEdit is also worth
a look.
I used Aptana fora while before going the JEdit route for my first (and
so far only) sizeable Rails app. But now that I’m playing more on my Mac
I’m a happy camper with Textmate (and WordWrangler).
I have to say though, that the code-completion of X-code during my
iPhone newbie-dev hours is very agreeable. Once you start trusting WHAT
the completions will be you don’t need to watch it happen. What a
fantastic way to avoid code syntax errors… or at least reduce their
frequency!

Github edit, perhaps? I’ve never tried in on my iPhone, but it should
work…

For quick hacking sessions or really small projects I use vim with a
bunch of plugins. For every day work I use Netbeans. It’s a great IDE
for Ruby/Python/PHP after some configuration effort. I’m working on
linux boxes, however a friend at work uses successfuly Netbeans on his
MacBook.

Looks like I’m the only one using Ruby in Steel (Ruby plugin for Visual
Studio). I love it, but I’m a Windows user primarily and I use Visual
Studio for my work programming anyways.
I used Netbeans a fair amount, but I just purchased a license for
Rubymine… So for me, it’s gonna be Rubymine and gVim + irb

I too use NetBean, but I also do no small amount of Java EE work. I
prefer Coda to TextMate. For quick edits vi has been, and always
will be, my friend.
I use Netbeans as well but it’s not as good as eclipse which I use for
java.

I have used NetBeans (on Linux) in the past, but I am switching to
Komodo Edit. I was purely using NetBeans as a text editor (no
debugging, no running rake/script tasks, etc.), so I figure I might as
well use a lighter weight editor.
I had tried using Komodo Edit before (prior to version 5.2), but it
had crashed on me occasionally, which I thought was very odd since I
wasn’t pushing it particularly hard. So far, version 5.2 seems stable.
VIM is pretty good when you add in the Nerd Tree plugin (NERD_tree.vim).
You
can also get the snippets working similar to TextMate with the
(snippetsEmu.vim). That’s typically what I use when I’m not on my home
computer and I need to login to my remote dev box to make some quick
updates
or changes. I’ve tried to break away from TextMate a few times but I’ve
been
unsuccessful… They have a stranglehold on me.

- is fully extensible, written in C, programmable in elisp

Display an attractive GUI? Or have things changed?
(I like console Emacs, but find Xemacs just about unusable.)

I have. My recollection is that it’s attractive and usable, but didn’t
seem like any improvement over the console version. It was long enough
ago that I don’t remember exactly what my issues were.

I agree – emacs is absolutely my console editor of choice. But I don’t
like using console editors when a GUI editor is available.

You certainly won’t get flamed by me. I’ve used Coda very little
indeed, but what I’ve seen, I like.

emacs is a GUI editor nowadays. The Linux GTK version based on emacs 23
is great. You can do everything with the mouse and menus, even if
usually using the command keys is faster because you don’t have to move
the hands away from where they are most of the time (the keyboard) but
you probably know that.
An example:
http://www.skybert.nu/cgi-bin/viewpage.py.cgi?computers+emacs+java_programming_tutorial
I’ve been using both netbeans 6.5 and emacs in the last year. I’m
mandated to use netbeans for a customer’s Java project and I use emacs
for everything else. I think that emacs just beats netbeans feature by
feature. However I concede two things:
-
It still feels like a console application with a GUI layer added to
it. -
It requires a good deal of customization to get it up to par with
modern IDEs from the out-of-the-box version (adding modes, installing
the right .el files, writing some elisp, etc). That’s why I use it only
on my machine. I use vi over ssh connections to servers and whatever I
find on other desktops, from notepad to kate or Textmate.

If not Text Mate… then EMACS

I used TextMate and a few others over the years – Eclipse, Aptana,
VIM…well I still use VIM and sometimes Nano for a quick edit – but
I just like how Coda feels. Plus, if you dial in your local settings
for your Coda project you get the built-in preview right in the IDE
like Eclipse. I hear Espresso is pretty decent too, but most Rails
folks I know use TextMate probably due to the multitude of snips and
bundles for Rails. I still pop into TextMate occasionally, but I’m
hooked on Coda now.
