Netbeans works well, if you're concerned about the bloat/response simply turn some of the features off. I've used Rails for a few years and a basic editor just seems so, well basic. Netbeans isn't perfect, I don't use it to run the server or do the tests but for the simple pleasure of jumping between controller method to view just cannot be beat.
If you're on Linux with KDE, Kate works well as a basic editor. Windoze - try Notepad++, very lightweight and easy to use. But in the end, it's your preference. Find something you're comfortable with and go with it. On Aug 23, 9:25 pm, ZRiddick <[email protected]> wrote: > Really strange that I cannot find a lot of discussion on a good RoR > IDE.
