I’m currently using RadRails but considering other alternatives since
that software gets buggier with each upgrade.
Anyway, here is an online poll; would you guys mind participating in the
1st poll listed here?
http://visualpatterns.com/polls.jspI’m using the latest Netbeans 6.0 milestone build, and it’s Ruby on
Rails support is really nice. I haven’t found anything else that is
free that feels as good to me.
Thanks, Dave. I’ve been hearing some good buzz about NetBeans’ Ruby
support, so I’ll definitely check it out.

I’ve just downloaded and installed the m10 build myself. I’ve been
using
TextPad for RoR development for over a year and a half and haven’t felt
any
need for an IDE, but I’m about to start a new position where use of
Netbeans
is required. Do you know of any tutorials for using Netbeans for RoR
development?
Thanks,
Bill
Hi,
I am currently using Komodo Edit 4.1. I find it OK for now. Decent
Intellisense support (or whatever the name of it is) and really fine
Generators feature that lets you generate models, controllers and
scaffolding easily.

Ben, I hate to add to the cornucopia of Ruby IDEs, but an important one
will be available soon.
CodeGear’s (http://www.codegear.com/) working really hard on an IDE. It
it is in field testing right now. IMO, CodeGear’s building an
intuitive, innovative tool for the Ruby/Rails community and it should be
remembered although it isn’t available to the public just yet.
Huw C. also built “Ruby In Steel”, a Ruby/Rails plug-in for
Visual Studio. You can find it here: http://www.sapphiresteel.com/.
It might need adding to the survey.

Thanks for the mention. I can’t claim to have written Ruby In Steel
entirely by myself, however 
You may also want to add Arachno to that list (no, we have absolutely no
connection with them but it’s an IDE which has been around for quite
some time so should be among the choices).
best wishes

I don’t think you’ll need any. It’s as simple as “File->New->Project”,
Select “Ruby->Ruby on Rails”, tell it if you want to run native ruby or
JRuby or if you want to import an existing rails app, and that’s pretty
much it. You have a project viewer and a file viewer, and syntax
highlighting and everything, and you can right-click on the project to
run generator scripts and other things.
It should also be noted that TextMate on the mac is the editor of choice
for many ruby developers who use Mac, as is the Windows clone of it,
e-TextEditor.
I like TextMate’s elegantly simple feel. However, does anyone know if
TextMate can display method and variable names, similar to how RadRails
(and other plug-ins) do in the Eclipse Outline view?

I use the e text editor. Snippets are great.
I tried using Netbeans and Aptana, but I found them maddeningly
slow.

From the RadRails I’v moved to a NetBeans… it’s more comfortable and
bugless (already used it for a week, 7 days for 8 hours… never
dropped… but sometimes lagging for a 5-20 sec… once per 2-3 hours)

RadRails plugin in Aptana
–
Ramon T.
I’m also using the RadRails plugin for Aptana. For the most part it’s ok
but sometimes buggy - especially when it comes to quoting and then color
coding the text, which can get a little annoying, because you begin to
think that you have an error in your code when there is not one.
Hi
I am happily using Aptana RadRails. Tonight, I began to appreciate
RadRails more after reading the really great virtues of nbRubyIDE.
So much so, that I am x-checking feature by feature and learning more
about the capability of Aptana RadRails in the process.
You should also be aware of Tim H.s tip on how to configure
External Tools in Aptana Radrails
