"RubyMine - The best IDE for RoR development"
What do you like best about RubyMine?

The best part about Rubymine is its Intelligence, where it maps the whole codebases and makes references of all function definations and calls and you can head to that function on the click of a button. It has also the ability to directly integrate popular version management systems like SVN and GIT and lot of other plugins to make the development and code deployment a seamless process.Another great part about RubyMine is its ability to autocmplete code and give suggestions for common methods even those imported from 3rd party gems(libraries). Ohh and how can i forget the local history feature where RuvyMine saves all the history of the local changes done in a file so that the user can partially/fully revert some unwanted to change he did few hours back without needing to use the version management system Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RubyMine?

There is hardly anything to dislike about RubyMIne. The main thing that is sort of an issue is the RAM used by rubymine after extended periods of usage, But a simple restart of the application resolves that issue Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for Ruby with the familliar IDEA feel"
What do you like best about RubyMine?

I have been a Java guy all my life since I was out of college and planned to be but times change and REST APIs came into my life, theoretically, you can do API calls from Java but it is not practical so I rusted off my Ruby and RubyMine is the natural option if you develop Java with IntelliJ IDEA, different language but pretty close overall. I'm picky with the location of the menus and being developed by the same guys from IDEA really saved me time in customizing my IDE experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RubyMine?

I don't know if it is just my PC since none of my colleagues gets this error but I tend to get an error sometimes: We could not validate your license "insert license here" with your Jetbrains account, even after entering my account, closing the program, waiting 5 minutes, and reopening it solves the problem completely but has happened quite a few times and just happened to me now.

"The most complete IDE out there"
What do you like best about RubyMine?

It allows me to work the way I like with auto-completion and refactoring support and great integration with testing frameworks for whatever test I need to run when doing an automation project and debugging tools built-in for whenever I need to look step by step what is happening. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RubyMine?

The editor runs wonderfully in my PC with 32GB of ram but feels a little sluggish in my netbook, it still runs and that is a huge plus but I tend to use something lighter like a sublime text if I need to actually work in my netbook instead of reviewing something that I wrote in another PC. Another small downside is that is closed source, this a few years ago would not have mattered that much, but free and open-source tools like Visual Studio Code are starting to catch up to full-fledged IDEs like RubyMine but they are also free.

"Excellent IDE for developments in ruby ​​on rails, practical and dynamic"
What do you like best about RubyMine?

What I like most about this IDE is the easy use and all the components and plugins that we can add to make the development easier, faster and without using other third-party tools to complement it since with this environment we have everything, access to database regardless of type, an intelligent IDE that helps us with the syntax of the language and gives us recommendations using artificial intelligence to achieve this.

And something very important is its visual aspect that is very friendly to developers, its distribution of the project part, the console, and the text part, which makes it compact and easy to manipulate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RubyMine?

I did not like that in one version there was a lot of keyboard inserting to enable the building as well as the copy and paste part of the quick keys did not work, this only happened in one version which was later corrected but was a little uncomfortable and wasting time coding.

"The perfect IDE for your rails needs"
What do you like best about RubyMine?

RubyMine comes with an integrated console, just so you can run your server and test your WebServices/APIs without too much of a hassle. Everything is one click away. It's got great compatibility with rubocop, and overall I wouldn't change it for any other IDE in the market. Even if it is a paid IDE, the people at JetBrains actually give licenses away to some developers and students, which shows JetBrains actually cares about its users. Every IDE made by JetBrains use the IntelliJ development environment, so once you learn to use one you can use all of their products. Lastly, it's really customizable. You can change every hotkey available to you, in a really easy and intuitive way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RubyMine?

If anything, the fact that it's not a free IDE is a con. But of course, it probably wouldn't be as good if it were free or open source. Still, as I mentioned before, the great people at jetbrains give the license away to students, which is great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"RubyMine - a not-so intellisensed IDE"
What do you like best about RubyMine?

RubyMine has more 15 navigation features including awesome search techniques including a normal Cmd + F find in the current file to a global search of texts and commands. The text search can be done within the project, a module, a directory or a scope whereas the command search encompasses searches in classes, files and symbols. These are really fast. The 2nd feature I like the most is its integration with Git. The IDE provide a very easy-to-use interface to execute Git commands, be it while resolving conflicts or viewing the very first commit and modifying. It also provides a nice UI for seeing the changes done in a file as compared to the last commit and reverting them. Just like other good IDEs it comes with an integrated terminal, which I haven't used much.

Refactoring is a piece of cake with RubyMine in a not-so deep file structure project, as it is aware of even a minor change in name of, say a controller, and automatically carry forward them to all its usages.

The platform also comes with an integrated testing and debugging assistance Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RubyMine?

It gets harder to detect syntactical errors when the code structures get deeper and start using features like dependency injection (Dry Container, Dry Auto-inject). Dry-Struct is also one of the gem which provides DSL for defining typed struct classes. The auto-injector modules and dry-struct classes' attributes are not 'intellisensed' by this IDE and are prone to showing false syntactical errors. Since Ruby is a loosly-typed language, RubyMine doesn't help to cover its disadvantageous effects. Each of the errors (be it syntactical or logical) are known only on runtime and need to be fixed one at a time unless you get to know the more errors before hand.

"Developers friendly IDE"
What do you like best about RubyMine?

As ruby on rails developer, I am using this form last 3 years onwards, and it's easy to navigate to the implementation of any method or class by pressing CTRL + Enter. You can save you setting like background color, font-style, indentation into a zip file and also it allows you to import to settings from zip file. Allow you to change themes also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RubyMine?

In low-grade level machines, it's quite slow for your development. Pricing is also quite high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Working one a Ruby WebApp? Do it in RubyMine"
What do you like best about RubyMine?

I have use many IDE's over the last 25 years, and RubyMine is probably the only one where I could do almost all of it in one app. The editing, debugging, browsing through code could not be done any better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RubyMine?

It is a memory and CPU hog, default guidelines for code checking are a little to strict for me. There are bugs, lots of them, I had to go back a release more than once. I have at least 3 bug reports open for a couple months now, no progress or hope to get it ever fixed. With a yearly major release schedule you will get some good and bad surprises. Things shift around, disappear or behave different. 80% of what RubyMine can do is probably not utilized (by me). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
