IDE for Ruby

Question

Hi all,
I use sublime text for Ruby on Rails, but what do you think is good to use for pure Ruby?
I used to work with RubyMine but after problems I had after integrating it with rails I qm looking for some alternative

Answer 1

I made a little research about the subject and found some objective conclussions:

- For pure Ruby - RubyMine is way to go
- Somehow, it works even as a plugin to IntelliJ

- Due to RubyMine bugs around rails its better to use Sublime Text or eventually Aptana for now and generate rails files through bash terminal (as long as I recall it is indeed bugs-free)
-> Still using RubyMine as an editor for specific, longer Ruby scripts.

Answer 2

i use vim and i love it. there are lots of awesome plugins for ruby. you can install them by using Pathogen, one of its plugin managers.

Answer 3

I still recommend you to try vim. All plugins work just perfect with rails and pure ruby. And any other interpreted language.

Answer 4

I tried to use vim long time ago and you know what... I am just not geek enough :P

Answer 5

Same thing happened to me. Until i watched two tutorials in YouTube. In those vids they show you what they are pressing as they code. That's perfect for learning.

Answer 6

I use cloud 9
