Hi
I just want to know what IDE's are being used for Rails development by the people here. I had been using RadRails but it looks like there will be no more releases of it.
I gave jEdit a spin, which has a lot of nice features, but I couldn't stand how it didn't automatically sync up the files in my project directory. I.e. I would have to manually import any new files created in that directory into the project which is obviously a problem when developing with Rails.
I'm liking netbeans (alphas). It's alot faster and smoother than radrails, has somewhat good auto completion, it won't find active record dynamic fields though. The only major thing it's laking for rails is better .rhtml file support.
It's an alpha release though, so it's buggy, But for me at least all the exceptions have been caught and not affected it running.
I use vim (sorry :)) with the Rails plugin from Pope. It's really useful, you can toggle between your controller/views with a simple ^gf, etc.
Give it a try!
At the begining i try a RADrails then i found the RORED and still use it
Switch to Mac, get TextMate. Most of the Core Ruby/Rails developers use TextMate, for good reason.
