I find this nearly useless for Rails.

That is correct. For Rails, that's all you need. (There is a Komodo IDE, but it's something like $250.) > I haven't tried textmate. I found NetBeans slow and clunky. How recently have you used NetBeans? Since 6.8 or so it's been an amazingly good IDE (it certainly *used* to be slow and clunky before that). I don't recommend it (or any IDE) for Rails, but when you need an IDE, NetBeans is your best choice. It has far outstripped Eclipse/Aptana in recent versions. > > Your view, and everyone elses, will differ. Go try some. > > Matt.
