What is the best Ruby on Rails IDE

[p0wn3d]

With rails changing so fast does any IDE on the market, open source or retail keep up with all the changes. So many are still setup for rails version 2 that when you setup your development workstation they choke.

The snarky answer is textmate / submlime 2 / vim.

I'm no rails guru, but I have but together quite a few professional CMS's and use it almost exclusively for homebrew projects, and I've never felt like I needed a heavyweight IDE.

Was using Netbeans and then RubyMine when I first started. Then sat down one day for twenty minutes to try:

    $ vimtutor

Never looked back. It's been six months since I started Vim and I realized all I really want to develop Rails is a fast way to switch between files, find files, and arrange files onscreen.

The CommandT plugin for Vim has been absolutely amazing. You just start typing the path of a file and it'll narrow down search results. For instance if you want to get at a controller app/controllers/posts_controller.rb, you can just type any letters along the path. like, i'd type "acposts".

I prefer Netbeans with Ruby-Rails plugin. Allows me great code navigation, visual debugging and also can be made to highlight SASS/CS via plugins, good support for html/css, auto-formatting of code.

JetBrains RubyMine is setup for Rails 3, and it seems to be liked by the users of HN and Stack Overflow.

Yes. Handy for debugging. There are some sharp edges, but by and large, it is useful.

Thank you for all the comments. So far I have been using vim/textmate.

The IDE of choice at ThoughtWorks is RubyMine.
