I remember some posts about this topic, as I see someone added the links, I'm sure you can also find it. The answer is: depends on your need. Do you want it for free? Easy to use or easy to install? Or fast starting?
Netbeans, Eclipse + Aptana plugin, Aptana 3 (standalone) or Textmate are very good choices. If you are using Win, than you can try Scite, it's very fast. The bigger ones have much more features, but they are much slower. For first steps Scite is simply ideal, all you need is included. I also had problems and I hated Eclipse in the beginning. But take it easy, just see how easy you can add a plugin, and it will work for you. I'm sure you can solve problems with JRE also, maybe you haven't tried it enough. If you have problems with it, better idea to change win to Linux or Mac, than change Eclipse. And I think there is a plugin, which made to configure Eclipse easily and add more plugins easily - you can find it in sourceforgenet. If you prefer to choose from a list, than Netbeans can be your choice. good luck, gezope On aug. 24, 03:25, ZRiddick <[email protected]> wrote: > Really strange that I cannot find a lot of discussion on a good RoR > IDE.

Otherwise I will be forced to go with visual studio wfc. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
