Cons: - Lots of features (may look intimidating at first) - Memory consumption if higher than e.g. Sublime Pro: - Code navigation is really quick (e.g jump to definition, inline view of implementation, including gems) - Debugging experience is great (e.g. setting breakpoints, stepping into and execution code within breakpoint context) - Git integration is very good (e.g. review your code side by side before pushing/sending for review) - Great support for running tests within the IDE, also supports having a rails console within the IDE - Navigating through projects and multiple files is really fast/efficient - Auto-completion, code inspection All in all, I'd say it's really worth it if you're the type of person that enjoys using productivity tools. As others mentioned, it's somehow similar to using VisualStudio with C#.
