First off has there been any talk about what price range the full
version of
ruby in steel is going to fall into?
What happens if you want to develop a gui application using Ruby is one
expected to draw the gui in one program and write the code that makes it
work in another? I think the integration of form designing tools are a
major strength of an IDE personally. I tend to do most of my ruby
coding on
Linux systems and I prefer Emacs but one major issue I have with Emacs
(and
Vim) is that I seem to be spending an exorbitant amount of time trying
to
get things like snippet.el, and cedet to actually work; so much so that
I
have had to all but give up on getting those things to work if I am
going to
get anywhere on the project I am trying to write at the moment. The net
effect being I end up being far less efficient with respect to typing
alone
than I would be if it was easier to get those plugins working or they
were
built into emacs already.
The more I try to use Emacs for Ruby the more I find myself wanting to
use
an IDE that is at the very least on par with Visual Studio and hopefully
better than Visual Studio if only to focus more on typing the code for
my
project and hopefully learning more about ruby in the process rather
than
trying to configure the editor component in vain.
Do any of these IDE’s mentioned support active line highlighting? (The
current line is say yellow so it stands out against everything else.)
