Ask YC: What is your favorite IDE?
Hi YC hackers, I was just curious as to what your favorite IDEs are?
I was at the CommunityOne/JavaOne conference today and everybody seems to be using NetBeans (Sun product, duh.); and the consensus seems to be that NetBeans is actually very good for Java, Ruby, C/C++.
I was just curious as to what people are using for Python, Perl, PHP... and Ruby.
Thanks.

- Hates_ 18y agoAs I do Java, Groovy and Ruby, I find IntelliJ perfect for all three.
- kaens 18y agoemacs.

- atog 18y agoTextMate for Ruby, NetBeans for Java.
- raju 18y agoI use NetBeans for RoR. Its pretty good, though I switch intermittently to emacs (I am still trying to learn emacs). I would not say its my favorite IDE. I would prefer to work in emacs all the time (soon, fingers crossed).
- strlen 18y agoemacs, but it isn't really an IDE I've used IntelliJ a few times as well. There is a lot that that it does that could be implemented on top of emacs. Had there been an attempt to build a 3G/4G ide on top of emacs (Intelligent completion, "quick fix", generating Makefile/Makefile.PL/build.xml)?
