Thanks guys -- may be a dumb q, but... It seems that if you are coding rails, there''s little you need/want other than syntax highlighting (and perhaps a means to prettify the code). You really cannot set breakpoints or use an IDE in writing Rails can you? -Rvince

If you want to invest a little bit of time learning a great editor, Vim combined with the rails.vim plugin is really great.

try notepad++ with lightexplorer plugins or newest Netbeans IDE. notepad++ is light weight text editor but without auto complete feature.

Hi, I will suggest you to try gVim along with the plugin called rails.vim (to say the least, there are lots of other stuff as well you could try on your own) I can say with confidence it will change your life.

You really cannot set breakpoints or use an IDE in writing > Rails can you? -RvinceSure you can. Rails has very nice support for ruby-debug. The various ruby IDEs use ruby-debug, and there are plug-ins for various programmers editors (vim, emacs, textmate for the mac ...) which allow ruby/rails programs to be run under the debugger, set breakpoints from the editor, etc. For example I use the rubyamp plugin in textmate which does this. Most Ruby/Rails programmers I know of tend to use editors rather than IDEs. By personal observation most I''ve seen are using OS X and Textmate. There are also plugins to do things like run tests and rspec specs from the ide and get nice pretty displays of the results. I tend to use this in conjunction with autotest/autospec which monitors file changes and runs tests/specs automatically. -- Rick DeNatale Blog: talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com Twitter: twitter.com/RickDeNatale WWR: workingwithrails.com/person/9021-rick-denatale LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/rickdenatale

You can set breakpoints in Netbeans. It integrates with rails-debug- ide very nicely. I recommend Netbeans.

I''ve tried a few and love vim but Netbeans is definitly the business .
I have tried quite a few myself.I will say again, VIM is the best option if one isn''t already a master at using Emacs. If your confortable with Emacs, then there are no questions about Emacs. But otherwise, I don''t think there is anything better than VIM with a bunch of plugins, if you are able to find and customize the .vimrc file properly, you won''t even have much of a learning curve...

Rubymine (jetbrains.com/ruby) would have been the best money ever spent for Windows, but I got it via a free coupon.
My personal favorite is emacs with emacs-rails package. Well worth a look if you want a development environment that you can carry with you through time and computer changes. For example, I started using emacs as a C development platform on VMS in 1979 (DEC Vax - prehistory) and have used it under unix, windows, and osx to develop code in many different languages. Check out this site to get started: dima-exe.ru/rails-on-emacs I''ve also tried Vim, NetBeans, jEdit, and ScITE but emacs remains my editor of choice. Risky religious rant here... On a slightly different note, I think you ought to take a look at one of the many linux variants (or osx if you''re shopping for a new computer). While it is true that Microsoft has desktop dominance this is due more to clever marketing and a historic middle management mantra (Nobody ever got fired for purchasing IBM) than to technical innovation or excellence.

I''m gonna throw another +1 on Emacs. Emacs has an extremely high learning curve, but is oh so worth it. As someone else said, you''ll love NOT having to use your mouse for anything. But to actually answer your question, on Windows, InType (http:// intype.info) would suit you very well. It''s almost a complete TextMate clone.

+1 for RubyMine....worth way more than the $50 I spent on it.
If you are interested in using emacs with Rails and Ruby, it''s probably worth looking at Rinari, too: rinari.rubyforge.org Also, check out the various emacs-starter-kits and dotfiles on github: github.com/search?q=emacs-starter-kits&type=Everything&repo=&langOverride=&start_value=1 github.com/search?type=Everything&language=&q=emacs+dotfile&repo=&langOverride=&x=0&y=0&start_value=1 I have my own, but it is Aquamacs (read OSX) specific: github.com/walter/aquamacs-emacs-starter-kit/tree Cheers, Walter
