What environment have you come from? When I used to do ASP development, there was still a need for separate code editor, DB editor/viewer, and a couple of command prompt windows. Being confused by the data being "scattered" may just be your unfamiliarity with MVC (I'm making an assumption there, and apologise if you're not new to MVC). After several years of arranging my thinking, the separation of responsibilities now seems second-nature, and looking at imperative code just makes me want to start extracting methods and classes. For my Rails development, I use an "IDE" (Netbeans 6.9.1), a couple of terminals/consoles (gotta get into 'screen' to reduce the number...), and a couple of browser windows. To me, this is still "organised" - it's just that it's *me* that controls the organisation :-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
