Just started my first Rails project.
I'm coming from Windows/Visual Studio world.

What are the options and experiences for Rails development environments on Windows?

Currently I'm using SciTe editor and Windows Explorer. SciTe is great but I'm looking for better project organization, integrated debugger, intellisense and the other things from VS.
What are your experience with other options:
- Eclipse(with RDT)
- FreeRIDE
- Arachno Ruby
- ...

Thanks,
Igor

Try arachno ruby. It has a great build-in debugger, great editor, great
code navigator, code folding. To put it shortly its really great ruby IDE.

Well I haven't tried Arachno yet, but Eclipse and jEdit are good.
jEdit just got method expansion in the ruby plugin that went out
today. I have used both of these in the Java world for some time and
really liked them. Ruby support is up and coming but looking good so
far.
