"Rubymine pros and cons"

"Didn't become a fan"
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great IDE for Rails Development"
What do you like best about RubyMine?

Great tool for traversing your codebase. The shortcuts are great as well as the ability to give more productivity to a junior developer in a shorter amount of time. You can connect your database and build your queries locally which is helpful for testing one offs. Setting up your config file is easy to make sure that your code is easy which allows everyone on the team to be on the same page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RubyMine?

The newest version has become laggy and can bog your machine up a bit. Not sure why with the current iteration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seriously, why use anything else?"
What do you like best about RubyMine?

Rubymine does everything you could ever need and more. Amazingly functional auto-complete, great generators, excellent linting support, addons, great layout. Everything is, in my experience, just about perfect. Doesn't eat up your system resources either! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RubyMine?

I thought long and hard about this and honestly cannot think of a single thing that I genuinely dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good, but still slow.."
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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...

"Lots of features, but heavy on resources"
What do you like best about RubyMine?

I think RubyMine is a great tool if you want to be able to do all of your work in one place. You can code, add in breakpoints, debug, execute tests, etc all from one place. If you want to centralize your workflow, RubyMine is a great option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RubyMine?

I tend not to use most of the features in the IDE. I like to write my code in it, but I usually end up using the terminal on my Mac anyway; and for debugging, I just use pry from the command line. Good tools available, but when you don't really use them, you end up with something very heavy on resources without much added benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the best IDEs"
What do you like best about RubyMine?

Almost everything! The refactoring is good. Love the dracula theme. Finding a file or a text is super easy. Good integration with the VCS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RubyMine?

It crashes sometimes. Multiple cursor selection adds an additional cursor on the first line which gets a bit annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Ruby IDE"
What do you like best about RubyMine?

Fully integrated Ruby IDE: with code completion, smart code analysis, refactoring, code navigation, test runner, debugger, great Git client, great database client. It's just so much faster to develop Ruby/Rails projects than anything else. Very healthy plugins system. If you like to use Vim - you can use Vim inside of RubyMine, just install a plugin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RubyMine?

It tends to use a lot of CPU and memory, which is only a problem if I'm trying to work off my battery. Working plugged in - I barely feel it.

IdeaVim plugin isn't ideal: some Vim features don't work, dialogs cannot be closed with ESC key. All minor - so not a big deal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
