Yes -- but not for Rails IMHO.

I try not to be that person. I love IDEs. I use them for languages and frameworks that benefit from them, such as Java and certain non-Rails stuff in Ruby. I was actually a little surprised when I started working with Rails to find that IDEs provided no benefit -- but that *is* the case. I'd be happy to give RubyMine another try at some point, but I was really unimpressed by it. Note that I'm not saying it would be absolutely impossible to design an IDE that *was* beneficial for Rails. The problem is that the dynamic nature of Rails, and to some extent Ruby, means that such an IDE does not yet exist, and would have to work very differently from the conventional IDEs that are out there. (I tend to think that the best bet would be a Smalltalk-style class browser.) > I hope these people aren't designing UIs. I hope the people who are tied to IDEs aren't designing UIs. :) Best, -- Marnen Laibow-Koser http://www.marnen.org [email protected] -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
