For a university I was advised to learn Ruby before starting. I have a strong .NET background (with C#) and would like to find an IDE for Ruby. I’m currently very familiar with/used to VS2010 and VS2012.
- Which IDE has the most similarities with Visual Studio?
- Is there a certain prominent IDE that is far better than it’s competitors?
I find RubyMine by JetBrains to be the closest to Visual Studio that I’ve found. It’s paid, comes with support, and is built off of Eclipse (I think).
If you’re interested in using a text editor, I’ve found Sublime Text 2 to be a very nice choice. I used to use TextMate all the time, but I’m gradually switching to Sublime Text.
