Hi all, I''m trying to put together a comprehensive list of IDEs and Editors for Rails that people enjoy using. I want to append this list to the "New to Rails" topic I''ve been expanding upon. If you could take the time to list out your current IDE and editor and a brief summary of why you enjoy using it, I would greatly appreciate it. For those that might not know the difference, and IDE is an "Integrated Development Environment" whereas an editor is normally just an editor... ==(IDE List)= Netbeans 6.5, Netbeans 6.7 Summary: I recently made the move to Netbeans 6.7 which is still not a fully developed RC yet. It is incredibly powerful when implemented with Rails and supports everything related to Rails. Pros: You can perform the following within the IDE without having to use any console: All Rake Tasks All Run Tasks Autotest, Autospec, Rspec, Unit Test, Code Coverage Subversion Generate/Destroy (all commands, including those enabled through plugins) Internal IRB shell Internal Rails Console shell Supports all web server environments (mongrel, webrick, glassfish, etc.) Internal Debugging of Scripts Heavy Javascript support Heavy HTML support External widgets like jMaki, jQuery forms, calendars, etc. Now has a theme that looks just like Textmate (MAC) Usable in cross-OS development Cons: Memory intensive Slower than some IDEs Can be a little congested at times Some features require that the plugin be installed to use within the IDE ==(Editor List)= SciTe Editor -- Simple, concise, easy to use -- Supports run commands for Ruby -- Multiple folding and optimizations That''s my start.. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
As an extra add, Netbeans more formerly is used with jRuby development. However, I do not use jRuby so therefore I cannot comment on that piece within Netbeans. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
