Well, Vim is really good editor. I'm using it by myself with a big pleasure. But to work effectively on it you'll need to practice couple monthes and collect all the plugins and so on. If you need a fast start - use NetBeans IDE for Ruby. I've used it for 2 years, before I fell in love with Vim. http://netbeans.org/downloads/index.html
It's a little bit slow, 'cause it's in Java - but it'll give you syntax highlighting, live-time syntax error checking, it will show API for each Rails method you type, NetBeans autocompletion is something you can't find anywhere, even on Vim. Like when you write ModelName and hit autocompletion - it will give you all your database fields as methods. And so on. A lot of RoR-related features. NetBeans is RoR-newbie best friend :) I don't care about autocompletion and API parsing now, since I remember pretty much of it by myself. And I found some free time, and Vim guru in my team, so I've decided to switch on Vim to write code like a spiderman ) But when you're starting - you care about what you need to write much more, than about how to write it fast On Mon, Apr 19, 2010 at 10:29 PM, Leonardo Mateo <[email protected]>wrote: > On Mon, Apr 19, 2010 at 10:58 AM, RVince <[email protected]> wrote: > > Anyone aware of an editor I can use on Ubuntu that will do RoR syntax > > text coloring and a code prettiefier I can use under Linux for RoR > > code?
