It just get's in the way.Īll the Eclipse based IDEs are IMHO not stable enough (at least when using a Mac). It's better then Textmate but usability (code completion) is a complete failure. I use Netbeans for my latest Ruby project. The pricing of RubyMine wasn't officially announced yet, but I can say that the price of RubyMine will be much closer to the price of TextMate rather than IntelliJ IDEA. I think it will be tough for a commercial product to get significant market share. The latest version of Netbeans is very, very good when it comes to Ruby support.

In any case, it's interesting to see another 'everything but the kitchen sink' cross-platform Ruby IDE to compete with RadRails and NetBeans, but if RubyMine becomes a commercial application priced similarly to IntelliJ IDEA, I can't see it becoming popular except with devoted IDEA users migrating to Ruby, but hopefully JetBrains will pull something interesting out of the bag to make it a more interesting proposition. This was on OS X only, so your mileage may vary. Up and running, the IDE seemed to do the trick, but I didn't go too far as I'm not a big fan of IDE-based development. It took several minutes for my first Ruby project to be created as it was busy parsing all the Ruby files on my system for some reason, but once this was done, further projects were created instantly. On a casual tryout of RubyMine, I found it to be a little smoother than Eclipse based IDEs, and although it's clearly not a fully native OS X application (in terms of widgets) it looks pretty good.

The pricing for IntelliJ IDEA is £450 ($599 - oddly) for a 'commercial license' and £187 (or $249) for a 'personal license' - just to give you an idea of the level JetBrains operates at.

As a commercial developer tools vendor, I suspect JetBrains will most be charging for RubyMine when it's finalized.

This public preview is free to use for 30 days and JetBrains are keen to elicit feedback on their RubyMine forum in that time.

RubyMine is built upon the IntelliJ IDEA platform and brings together all of the essential features you'd expect of an IDE (editor, debugging tools, source control integration, code completion, and so forth) along with lots of extra goodies specific to Ruby, such as GUI-based support for RSpec and Test::Unit. RubyMine is an all new IDE for Ruby and Rails developers, developed by JetBrains (best known for Java IDE IntelliJ IDEA).
