"one of the best IDE out there"
What do you like best about RubyMine?

If you don't want to be meddling with vim settings and you just want to star coding with support for code completion and class navigation there's nothing better than RubyMine.

You can go straight to a class or method definition from wherever you are seeing it being used to help you understand it.

Now with support for rubocop your code style can improve a lot.

In general one of the best IDE you can get for ruby or ruby on rails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RubyMine?

The only problem you will find is, memory consumption, is a java application and a hungry one, it will try to index your project every now and them and if your current set up doesn't have the ideal ram and disk you may feel the pain, specially on start up Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use with good formatting"
What do you like best about RubyMine?

Formats code well, color scheme is easy to understand, completes if/do etc statements and classes with end. The terminal window also looks nice. Column selection mode is nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RubyMine?

Nothing much. Can't think of any improvements needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Free for students and conducive to learning"
What do you like best about RubyMine?

The code suggestions are great and having rubocop always reminding me of good practices helps build good habits. Has really aided my learning in rails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RubyMine?

Some key shortcuts seem to be missing or a little annoying, especially coming from VIM. Cursor movements can be an issue. Besides that the biggest problem is the price, most IDEs are free which can make it a tuff choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RubyMine?

When working on multiple projects it can be a bit slow and the sheer amount of shortcuts and options can be daunting to learn when first starting with the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Editor for Ruby on Rails"
What do you like best about RubyMine?

I like editors that are fast and lightweight, and was hesitant about ever trying a more full blown IDE when I was so comfortable with editors like Sublime Text. RubyMine somehow convinced me and now I am converted. I've been using RubyMine for 2 years now and the speed it has combined with all of the power and options when you want it (and clutter free when you don't) make RubyMine my perfect editor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RubyMine?

Because of everything going on behind the scenes, RubyMine can be a be a bit slow to start if many projects have to open at once with many tabs. This is probably something I could fix, by not keeping so many things open, but it would be nice to see an improvement on startup time and CPU usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"good stable IDE"
What do you like best about RubyMine?

I can do editing in the code while looking on previous results, also I can read the code with my eyes while waiting for results to finish. I caught several improvement places while just looking on the split screen while waiting :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RubyMine?

sometimes it takes too much time ti give any meaningful response and you are clueless what is going on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best way to manage and debug ruby/rails code"
What do you like best about RubyMine?

The RubyMine team has done a tremendous job of keeping up with the ever changing toolset involved in complex Ruby and Rails projects, and they continue to make coding easier. I've played around with other editors, and one nice thing about Ruby is you don't usually need things to be too fancy, but hands down the best feature of Rubymine for me is the debugging process. I can quickly dig into a problem in my codebase, a new client's codebase, or in a 3rd party gem, and figure out what is really going on at runtime. It saves me so much time, and helps me understand a complex codebase faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RubyMine?

In previous versions I would run into memory problems, particularly when running rspec tests, but that seems to have gone away (either because I have a better machine, or the latest Rubymine or both!)

The way the pricing works I sort of feel like I just paid for it, and then I have to pay again, or there is a deal that comes out right after I buy it, and I feel like I overpaid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
