Hi there everyone, I was wondering, what would you consider to be the best RoR IDE especially for Windows? I have been using Aptana with RadRails for a while now and for the most part it is working well. I have tried my hand at Netbeans 6.5 and have not really made my mind up on that one yet. I would love to here your thoughts on what best Rails IDE is out there at the moment.

Also PHP IDE, DreamWeaver, Sun Java Studio Creator and a few others. NetBeans 6.5 has a lot. The review above covers it well. In NB 6.5 I found excellent code completion, context-available code documentation, hints, in-line error detection, debugging, logging, SQL tools, plugins, tons of gems, web servers and excellent support, tutorials and, again, documentation at the NB sites. Will be very curious to see other opinions.

I just finished a 30 day trial of ''e'' for Windows... It has some nice features, but is not over-whelming! So have gone back to Netbeans IDE 6.5 ( BTW: Patch #1 has just been released for it). I don''t use it for everything - I use ''Console'' to do generation & running server.

You can try it free. It can automaticly generate code to help building structure. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I second vim with rails.vim, and a few other plugins: matchit camelcasemotion fuzzyfinder and fuzzyfind_textmate snippetsEmu vcscommand and either vividchalk or railscasts as a colorscheme. Vim is definitely worth the learning curve, but you need to invest some time before you realize how effective it is. I couldn''t go back to anything else at this point...

I used vi/vim for years, and only recently gave a full IDE a real honest try. Not sure I would call vim an IDE, although it''s gotten a lot closer to one then it used to be. I settled on using Netbeans. There are some things I really like about radrails, but they force some stuff into their ide like jaxer and their cloud menu''s that clutter up the interface, and you cannot disable them, which really irritated me. Eclipse gives you more fine grained control over the editor. I like how netbeans indents erb in html, better then radrails imo. Radrails also seemed less stable, it''s locked up on me far more then netbeans. Aptana does a bunch of tcp connections to their servers when it starts up, which can cause issues and also irritates me to no end. Netbeans also has a logical view which is pretty nice. You see top level folders for views, controllers, etc.., it hides the app dir from you. Or you can use the files view if you prefer. Code completion in Eclipse is better. It''s faster, and netbeans still has a nagging bug where code completion will turn itself on for no reason. I don''t use code completion anyways so it''s not a feature I pay much attention to, other then making sure I can disable it. The radrails ruby integration is better and it''s one of the things I do like about radrails. File tail view is very nice also, which netbeans doesn''t have. One thing to keep in mind is that if you use a windows ide, you must have some sort of staging server. I''ve been surprised how well most of the ruby gems just work on windows and unix, but you will still run into stuff that doesn''t work right when you deploy from windows to unix.

I''ve tried Aptana/Eclipse and NetBeans. They''re both good but I think NetBeans is significantly better. But make sure to set the -J-Xmx parameter to prevent it from using too much RAM. I set mine to -J- Xmx200m (200MB max). And I agree with the comment about Notepad++ for lightweight editing. It is by far the best lightweight editor (a.k.a. Notepad recplacement) on Windows. And it''s free.
