I'm a long-time user and fan of Test::Unit but TDD with it requires quite a bit of typing. What I saw demonstrated with VisualStudio was very impressive though. It supported Red-Green-Refactor at level I'd never seen before. Write the test, it knows you don't have the method you're testing and auto-generates it. That sort of thing. It was a very brief demo but what he showed was very impressive. I've never been a big fan of IDEs for Rails development. I use the Ruby version of NetBeans because it lets me use the same tool on Windows and Linux. That and the debugger. But it's got nothing like what I saw last weekend re: built-in TDD support. I'll check out RubyMine. Thanks!
