So, it looks like you all are using Windows w/ Hobo.

If all of Hobo components along with some popular gems such as

better stick to Win development platform.

What do you think?


You'll get my Macbook when you pry it out of my cold, dead hands. :)

But seriously, it's very dependent on what you're most comfortable with as a developer. I prefer OS X, as Rails work on Windows has historically been prone to occasional headaches. By far my favorite was the mess (discussed on rails-talk) where having an antivirus program installed could cause a race condition when freezing Rails to vendor/rails. The result was that "gem unpack activerecord" would scream and die when run programmatically, but succeed without issue when run manually - something to do with the scanner fiddling directory permissions for the first few milliseconds after creation. Finally solved that by adding a 'sleep(10)' statement in the Rake task...

I'm also partial to not having to think about which set of commands, etc to use at the command line; "ruby script/server" or "script/server"?

I can't comment on the Ubuntu GUI parts; I do all my Ubuntu work through SSH to production servers.
