Things you may want: - quick access to the logs - easy directory tree parsing - easy toggling between controller/model/view - code completion (it does come in handy!) - a simple way to choose which version of Ruby and/or Rails to use with your app - rake tasks - migration control etc etc. It's nothing particularly fancy but the IDE just makes it easier by bringing it all together. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
