Why not?  It doesn't work well with Rails.  I do not recommend it for 
Rails work, and I make no apologies for that fact.

I believe my only experience with NetBeans was with 6.7, but I will make 
sure of that.  If I was in fact using 6.5, I will be happy to try 6.7.

Me too.  But I don't want "very limited issues".  I want no avoidable 
issues.  I use and recommend a set of tools that achieves that goal. 
NetBeans is not one of those tools.

Perhaps you're using a different subset of Rails features than I am, and 
NetBeans happens to support what you need (though even so, I still do 
not believe that most IDEs are appropriate for Rails).

That's a bad reason to agree with me. :)

Yup.
