I do most of my ruby work in rubymine. I use it not so much for the IDE tools like refactoring etc, but because I can use it to condense multiple bash sessions into a single UI. I also use pycharm and IDEA, and certainly in IDEA's case I use it primarily because it's the best-in-class Java IDE.

> condense multiple bash sessions into a single UI

How does it compare to tmux/screen?

Haven't used tmux much, and last time I used screen was over 10 years go. Rubymine gives me my iterative test results, multiple independent launch commands, the ability to run a single rspec test, refactoring support, autocompletion, a coherent gem environment, debugging etc all in one place. Yes, I could do all this on the cli, but I'm lazy, and Rubymine means I don't need to.
