I use rubymine on fairly large codebase and while I did initially experience slowdowns with Ruby3 on a machine with 4GB ram, both software upgrades and a switch to faster cpu with 8gb of ram and an SSD drive has improved things drastically.

You have to remember that the way Jetbrains code analysis works is that it indexes the hell out of your code to allow you jump to function definitions using CMD-B, error identifications, code completion, etc. CTRL-B alone make learning a new codebase a lot simpler. I appreciate visual debugger a lot. It allows me to avoid polluting my code with debugger statements which is especially evident with conditional debuggers.

These are called "breakpoints".
