Netbeans used to be great for editing Ruby before Oracle bought out Sun
and cut the official support for Ruby in Netbeans.
I have started a petition which I hope we can hand to Oracle to ask them
to reinstate official Ruby support in Netbeans. Please consider adding
your name.

I swear by vim. If you're a Unix guy that's used to headless servers it's a
dream.
Now, as far as all this nonsense about having to manually do anything... If
you actually bothered to learn regex, key bindings, and macros you would
realize just how preposterous that statement was.
Very consistently I've run circles around people dependant on an IDE or gui
editor. I'll just flat out say it: if you require an IDE for Ruby, you're
doing it wrong and you're giving yourself a horrible handicap.
As an example, I had to change a file and commit it to a repo. The change
was renaming a variable across the file. It took me 5 seconds to find,
open, replace, and push to git. Try that with the graphical versions, and
you'll realize that the mouse is a rather cumbersome device.

For quick editing I use ST3 or nano. For long focused sessions working on
one application or library I use RubyMine, it has a lot of builtin
knowledge about Rails out of the box.
I used RubyMine for many years just because of the editor, but not as an
integrated environment. That is, edited in RubyMine and used the console
for everything else (rake, server, git, etc.). But lately I am leveraging
as much of it as I can.
As far as usage patterns is concerned, for many people Vim or Emacs (emacs
user for many years over here) are IDEs, only they do not call them IDEs.
If they can jump to a method definition, they do it. If they can install a
plugin that manages some refactor, they do it. If they can jump to the test
file with a keystroke, they do it. Git commands without leaving the editor.
Etc. But I find that to be a variant of Greenspun's tenth rule.
By the way, IDEs != mouse. You can leave RubyMine with a naked frame only
with code and manage everything with shortcuts, there are plenty (and user
definable).
I use ed and occasionally compile ruby simply by using a tiny magnet to
switch bits on my hard drive. When I get tired I yell at people on the
interwebs which forced them to come up with uniq semiotic routines to
provide binary translation with conversational tuning. Upon the realization
of creating a artificial network of iconic proportions I weaved back into
using a proprietary artistic redirection device to encode my custom
utilitarian ornaments to provide a sleek post modern design of the
primitive predication of engineering a useful more expensive manufacturing
device. I know it's a racket but hey on occasion we may get the term open
confused with crowd and begin to notice how a cult following pay minimum
wages to remove the copy(right|left) and authors names.
Brilliant! +1 stu
