Ruby IDE, Which one do you use?

I wrote a testApp and ran it with FreeRIDE - the IDE crashed on the first go. So my confidence in FreeRIDE is shaken. Anyone know of a good stable free IDE for Ruby? Thanks

Ruby can also be coded in any text editor you wish...and run through the command line.

For actual development I just use vim. shrug

We have a free version which has syntax-color editing, code folding, multi-level undo, split-window editing, debugging (breakpoints, step-into, step-over, call-stack, drag&drop watch variables etc. etc.), integrated Rails development tools, Rails debugging, project management in the Solution Explorer, a docked 'run and evaluate' window and lots more... Get it here... http://www.sapphiresteel.com We'll also be releasing a commercial edition in January with our new 'Cylon' debugger (which we believe to be the fastest Ruby debugger anywhere!) and complete syntax, scope and context sensitive IntelliSense. all the best Huw

The one that I have tried that works really well is the plug-in for eclipse, but I think that has some bugs in it too.

At uni we are using RadRails, it so simple and easy to use. I suppose you could use jEdit or better still Komodo. My personal choice is RadRails, there is so much help available if you get stuck.

Aptana is built on the eclipse platform, and it makes for a very good development environment, so that's the one I am sticking with now. I think Aptana took over the radRails project, and they have it as a downloadable plugin for their program.

I am using NetBeans now, just downloaded it about a week ago. Has all the features an IDE should have. Like it so far. Any opinion stated here is MHO. Thanks, Val
