Is anybody actually using NetBeans for Ruby? I tried it very early in my exploration of Ruby, but quickly switched to gedit, and eventually emacs (using technomancy's emacs starter kit). Now that I use emacs, any other editor (particularly one that requires a hand on the mouse) feels like an RSI producing nightmare.
- jamesbritt 16y agoNetbeans has some very nice autocomplete, drop-down help, and refactoring and debugging stuff for Ruby, but I could never use it for serous code editing. I liked it for the WYSIWYG GUI editor when building some Ruby GUI apps, but much prefer vim for general coding (vim plugins for Netbeans notwithstanding).
- Confusion 16y agoI've used it for a while, but recently switched to RubyMine (with vi bindings). Much snappier, much more complete. Well worth $150.
- barmstrong 16y agoI use it daily at CarWoo.com IDE's still have a few killer features over text editors that I miss when I don't have them.
- webuiarchitect 16y agoYou should seriously give Vim a try; I bet you would never go back to any IDE afterwards.
