But for Ruby/Rails, I have found it dead slow! Really. I hate that it is so, because I really love IDEA for everything else. And I do like, that I can, partly, use some of my favourite refactorings and other functionality in Ruby mode in IDEA.<BR/><BR/>BUT: At times where the Ruby plugin had memleaks in IDEA, I tried Netbeans. And it is MUCH faster. I have learned myself some of the keyboard shortcuts in NB, and now I am actually quite productive with Rails code there.<BR/><BR/>Even if you love IDEA and Ruby therein, I think you should try NB again. Take a look <A HREF="http://techpolesen.blogspot.com/2007/08/netbeans-ruby-ide-is-great.html" REL="nofollow">here, where i blogged about Netbeans Ruby mode compared to IDEA</A>.<BR/><BR/>The netbeans tool has some better integration with Rails, like <A HREF="http://blogs.sun.com/tor/entry/ruby_screenshot_of_the_week20" REL="nofollow">completion in model classes from what it can read in migrations</A>, etc.<BR/><BR/>And did I mention, it is much faster? :-)Tech Perhttp://techpolesen.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3718956085911858962.post-50357551929010296942007-11-09T18:10:00.000+05:302007-11-09T18:10:00.000+05:30Uhhh,<BR/><BR/>Have you really given the latest netbeans incarnation(version 6) a try ? Most of the stuff and much much more is in there and really works well, also for jruby stuff.<BR/><BR/>Greetz<BR/>LeoLeonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3718956085911858962.post-9801609806116271602007-11-09T16:58:00.000+05:302007-11-09T16:58:00.000+05:30A personal license for IDEA is $249.<BR/><BR/>http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/buy/buy.html#personal<BR/><BR/>The personal license doesn't restrict your use of IDEA, it just ties it to a specific person.Justin Fordernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3718956085911858962.post-26052250012818987472007-11-09T04:33:00.000+05:302007-11-09T04:33:00.000+05:30Komodo Edit is pretty good as well and it's free. :)<BR/>http://www.activestate.com/Products/komodo_edit/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3718956085911858962.post-77491684710747886562007-11-08T20:44:00.000+05:302007-11-08T20:44:00.000+05:30Nirav, that's very very interesting. I hadn't come across the DLTK before. In fact, in the UI sceenshots it looks remarkably like the RDT (I'd used RDT and RadRails as plugins in Eclipse to develop Rails).<BR/>I'll check it out, thanks for the tip.Siduhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11938300811286150164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3718956085911858962.post-6807471009504726042007-11-08T19:18:00.000+05:302007-11-08T19:18:00.000+05:30http://www.eclipsedltk.org/Nirav Thakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07204297663478577248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3718956085911858962.post-66525347722805477072007-11-08T19:14:00.000+05:302007-11-08T19:14:00.000+05:30looks quite nice so far (PS more screenshots!

I've read (from Tim Bray for example) that it had a quite good Ruby support. It may be worth checking out.B0Masklinnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10261896483118253882noreply@blogger.com
