development environment - tools, etc

Just wondering what the current line of thinking is towards development tools. What is considered the hot setup these days??

Hi,

I think to each his (or her) own, but I've been really happy with the recent milestones of NetBeans 6. The Ruby/Rails integration is very, very nice, and the debugger is unbeatable as far as I'm concerned.

A lot of people really like TextMate if they're on OS X, of course. I'm not sure what the Windows folks use. I'm sure they can tell us. :slight_smile:

I've been reading things about NetBeans/Ruby for a lil while but only tried it tonight after your recommendation pushed me over the edge. I have to say, it rocks.. Better than anything I've used yet actually.

I use: - MySQL w/ SQLYog - E (http://e-texteditor.com) - SVN - Console2

And a few other misc. things :slight_smile:

I recently tried Aptana with the RadRails plugin, and I really like it

Notepad++ I started with TortoiseSVN but find myself using cl lately

I'm running RadRails + Flex Builder2 in MyEclipse on Vista, and it's working great. The database is Oracle via OCI8.

The only time I ever have to work outside the MyEclipse IDE is when I copy the generated Flex files, so they can be picked up by Mongrel (or WEBrick, etc.). That's because I have two separate MyEclipse projects: one for RoR and one for Flex.
