I am a long time vim user and have heard great things about TextMate when working in the scope of Ruby + Rails projects. Things like factoring out code to partials, navigation between code blocks are apparently a breeze.
What are some must known bundles/tips/best practices when converting to TextMate specifically for building either pure Ruby or Ruby on Rails projects?
I went the other way – from TextMate to MacVim – but found this book to be a huge boon when initially learning TextMate. It’s by James Edward Gray II, who’s very active in the Ruby community, so there are a lot of Ruby-specific tips and tricks.
One bundle I would recommend immediately installing is ackMate, as I found TM’s search tools to be extremely slow when looking through multiple files (which is one of the reasons I switched to (Mac)Vim).
