I’ve played with Ubuntu, Fedora, SUSE and other Linux distributions and that was fun. The way they market this is “The power of UNIX at your fingertips”. There’s one big catch though - it requires cygwin to use TextMate bundles.

There are a couple of applications which I didn’t get around to trying but might be worth a look.Į Text Editor - or simply ‘e’ to its friends, this is the closest thing to TextMate on Windows you can get. When I started looking at customising the fonts and colours, I couldn’t get Consolas to stop looking ugly which was disappointing. If only it didn’t take so long to load and feel so sluggish I would have spent a bit more time on this.

NetBeans - there is a Ruby-specific download of this IDE and the UI looks a lot more streamlined than RadRails. There are a ton of other “helpful” features like this which became annoying so fast that I didn’t even get around to installing Rob’s theme. Also note the warning about incorrect spelling of “posts” in the screen shot above.

I had to switch to a nightly build straight away because of a warning about “Identical code structures” which I couldn’t set to ignore. Not to mention the dynamic intellisense stuff that goes on why I’m working and freezes the UI for a couple of seconds while I’m typing.Īptana RadRails - I first heard of this IDE plugin after Rob Conery posted his VibrantInk theme for it. An application that takes 60-90 seconds to just to load is an application I’m going to feel pretty good about uninstalling. My main complaint with these is the same - they’re all suffer from that enterprise-iness that seems to inflict a lot of Java applications. These are some more complete IDEs which all seem to be based on Eclipse. InType - nice UI, looks very promising but it’s only Alpha status and development progress seems slow and a bit secretive (apparently, testing is limited to an exclusive “ shadow community”). It’s simple and fast but lacks project support and has that Windows 2000 MFC look to it. SciTE - included with the Ruby One-Click Installer for Windows. I would have quickly handed over the $60 or so for it without looking any further if only there was a Windows version. I should point out that at this stage, what I really wanted was TextMate for Windows. My home development machine is 3 years old so it was important to find something lean and mean that wouldn’t make me wait around while it caught up with my (below-average) typing speed. Syntax highlighting, multi-document “project” support and a nice looking, simple user interface are my main concerns. Simple I’m a beginner Ruby programmer - I don’t need or want too much complexity in my editor. My criteria for the best Ruby/Rails development environment on Windows are: Of course it’s important to define what I mean by “best”. So I began my search for the best Ruby (and Rails) development environment I could find on Windows. Notepad2 is great for Hello World applications but for anything more complex it becomes a bit painful. I’ve recently started learning Ruby and naturally one of the first things I needed to do was to find a good development environment.
