I am using RadRails 0.5.3 on a AMD64 Debian Sarge box and am very impressed
by it. I particularly like the Data view for SQL queries, svn integration.
RDT integration (with 0.5.3). Kyle Shank and company are doing a fantastic
job with it. Way to go guys! It has come a long ways in a short time.

That said, prior to RadRails I was using FreeRIDE which was quite usable. I
am at a  loss why the community didn''t jump on this and develop a rails
plugin, since it IS written in RUBY and has a built in debugger, and syntax
highlighting etc.  With its FreeBase plugin architecture it is quite
extensible. It is #5 in downloads at Rubyforge, The only downside is the
fact that it uses the FOX gui library. But I had no trouble installing it on
Debian. My 2 cents worth :)
