On Ubuntu and Windows I've used Eclipse and Netbeans, and much prefer Netbeans - been using the last three releases with very few issues. I found Eclipse a bit lardy and slow - although part of that was the lower spec of my old PC, and changing to Xubuntu sped it up a bit. A few years ago I dabbled with Aptana on Windows, and hated it - couldn't fathom any of the functionality, and might as well have been using Notepad. Hell - I even used Visual Studio for a while - but there was no "Integration" with Ruby... and that was just from my familiarity with it from ASP Classic days. Of course you can use *any* text editor - but an IDE will speed some stuff up for you (at the risk of you getting lazy and not knowing what is going on under the hood - like when running rake tasks, or server instances). > IDE ? Ruby? What the fuck ?) ...others prefer to use Vi and Emacs (but they fight amongst themselves so much, they tend to stay out of the way ;-) Use whatever tools help you Get Things Done. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
