Bulky, Clunky **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 09, 2019 **What do you like best about RubyMine?** I like that you can navigate from Rails file to Rails file (eg tests / models / controllers) **What do you dislike about RubyMine?** Makes computer slow. Is indexing all the time. **What problems is RubyMine solving and how is that benefiting you?** Doing software development work. ### 2. Didn't become a fan **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sam B. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 09, 2018 **What do you like best about RubyMine?** I usually like Jetbrain's editor and hence found most of the features similar to that in most other Jetbrain's editors. These common features were good but I didn't find any Ruby specific features to be good. **What do you dislike about RubyMine?** The auto-correct was not that good as other editors. Also, cmd+click usually takes me to the declaration or usage of a variable but in Ruby-mine things didn't use to happen normally. Most of the cmd+clicks just failed I have no idea why. **What problems is RubyMine solving and how is that benefiting you?** Used it for editing a website which was already built in Rails. I would use it if that website was already in Ruby. Hated this language and editor both ### 3. Good, but still slow.. **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 01, 2017 **What do you like best about RubyMine?** I love the syntax highlighting in Ruby, the ability to click into symbols, variables, controller definitions etc and the version control features are also very good. **What do you dislike about RubyMine?** Rubymine is extremely slow.. Even after optimizing folder structure, excluding certain directories and allowing a large amount of memory I still get keyboard input lag and slow load times. Some things work in a surprising fashion as well - such as clicking on a block or highlighted piece of code will move that code? Overall, my biggest complaint is definitely the performance. This is such a large hinderance that I'm currently searching for another editor (visual studio code?) with better performance, the same syntax highlighting (I may just write it myself) and similar "click into" functionality... **What problems is RubyMine solving and how is that benefiting you?** So far I've been able to switch from Atom to RubyMine and experience a bit of an uptick in productivity. I attribute this mostly to the fact that the entirety of my team is using the program and is available to answer any questions I may have. If my team wasn't using RubyMine and I went in blind by myself I'm willing to bet my experience would be much worse. ## RubyMine Discussions - [How much does RubyMine cost?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/how-much-does-rubymine-cost) - 1 comment - [What is RubyMine used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-rubymine-used-for) - 1 comment - [View RubyMine pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/rubymine/reviews?filters%5Bnps_score%5D%5B%5D=2§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-08-07+15%3A28%3A13+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=8e9781b2-9b5f-424c-b4a0-b4f833966f1d&secure%5Btoken%5D=0db920d2731520c1bcad7554c98777906db5118c79ea30d0d103461ffe2372a3&format=llm_user) ## Top RubyMine Alternatives - [Studio 3T](https://www.g2.com/products/studio-3t/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (192 reviews) - [Coder](https://www.g2.com/products/coder/reviews) - 4.3/5.0 (209 reviews) - [PopSQL](https://www.g2.com/products/popsql/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (80 reviews)
