I guess you're right, Mislav. I guess I'm typing 90% of the time rather than click-and-drag even with Dreamweaver. But from my experience with templates (PHP, Smarty, my own) most of these are Dreamweaver-WYSIWYG-able. And it helps a lot especially when designing layouts not templates (especially if the layout doesn't contain too many dynamic elements and only have the single dynamic element that is the body of the page). > Sure RadRails/Aptana are much better, especially when your platform of > choice is Linux.

You're right. If only previewing wasn't really *that* slow. I need some opinions... what's the fastest development setup for Rails (not production) usable in Ubuntu (Linux kernel 2.6)? (I will switch from WinXP SP2 to Ubuntu within the next week), is it: - Apache2 + FastCGI - WEBrick? - Lighttpd + FastCGI - Mongrel (?) -- I'm not familiar at all with mongrel or even how it works. Anyway my system is AMD Sempron 2600 with 512 MB of RAM (which sometimes will be used partially with Windows XP SP2 in VMware, I give it 224 MB).
