I use emacs with my Rails work. My biggest complaint is that Emacs is hard, but the community is relatively unfriendly. It seems to have inherited the Lisp culture - it is not kind to noobs. In contrast, I found installing Ubuntu to be hard as well, as several pieces of my hardware were not well-supported. I asked many questions, some of them quite basic, and always received prompt, patient help.
