Of all the IDE I've used I hate Netbeans the least. But, note that I don't use any of them for Ruby development. I basically have to use an IDE for my Java work to keep myself sane. I just can't bring myself to say that I "like" any of them though. As for Ruby and Ruby on Rails, I'm a Textmate users. As far as any debate on whether Textmate could be categorized as an IDE, I don't really care. All I know is that I find it to be an excellent text editor for writing code. The IDEs that constantly popup suggestions for completion actually drives me a bit nuts. I know a lot of people love that sort of thing. However, I want a text editor that helps me edit text, and then gets out of my way so I can write code. I don't need, or want, it to try to write code for me. This is what Textmate does for me. I also know a number of developers that prefer VIM, but for very similar reasons. I could see the appeal of being able to stick to one tool (a terminal in this case), but I'm still a lot more comfortable with a terminal window and a Textmate window. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
