Ruby editor for linux

Does anyone have any suggestions for a Ruby editor on Linux? I usually use TextMate on the mac. I'm running Kubuntu and I've tried Kate, Emacs, and vi. At least with the default setup I can't say I'm very productive editing Ruby code with any of them.

vim. If you typed vi, you probably got vim, but configured in "vi-compatible" mode. Try this:

touch ~/.vimrc
vimtutor

Although it is still in it's relative infancy Redcar is shaping up nicely
and well worth a look. Particularly since most TextMate bundles are
compatible.

I use NetBeans Ruby edition. I'm very happy with it.

I use Diakonos. Certainly my preference for terminal/tty/ssh editing --
it probably won't supplant GUI editors.

Written entirely in Ruby, extremely configurable, easy to use, and made
especially for people that couldn't or don't want to figure out emacs
and vi(m). If you can do something in Ruby or with a shell one-liner,
you can assign a key to do it in Diakonos.

I like Bluefish. Easy to use, supports Ruby highlighting (and almost
everything else) and has project support.

There's one written in ruby called arcadia
GitHub - angal/arcadia: Light Ruby Ide which will hopefully develop
into something nice :slight_smile:
That being said, I did learn today that komodo edit has a fuzzy finder
like textmate's [ctrl+shift+o I think].
Cheers!

Hi,

Does anyone have any suggestions for a Ruby editor on Linux? I usually use TextMate on the mac. I'm running Kubuntu and I've tried Kate, Emacs, and vi. At least with the default setup I can't say I'm very productive editing Ruby code with any of them.

Vim (not vi) or emacs, according to your preferences, are essential. There are some things that will always be easier in one of those editors.

If you asked me last week, I'd have said something along the lines of: if you like TextMate give gedit a try (http://grigio.org/pimp_my_gedit_was_textmate_linux\). Some people I know use it and like it, but I never have, so I don't really know. I know some people who like NetBeans, I don't personally, but it'll probably be worth a look.

As of this week I'm taking a real liking to RubyMine (beta build 820, now 824) (http://www.jetbrains.com/ruby/index.html\). IntelliJ, so far, is the only IDE-like editor that ever kept me away from vim for any period of time. Very nice. RubyMine is a Ruby 'version' of IntelliJ. Nowhere as advanced as IntelliJ, but with the same point of view. It has improved dramatically in the last several months (I gave up on the beta around build 450 or something). There's something of a learning curve on this thing, kind of like vim or emacs, so don't be jumping to conclusions after flailing around for a few minutes -- check out the screen casts and the all of the tips-of-the-day (in the help menu). Now, having used it for 20-30 hours, I'm thinking I'm going to be *very* happy with it.

Cheers,
Bob

For quick scripts I'm fond of SciTE. It's slick, no nonsense coding goodness.

Some pros & cons

Pros:
lightweight (both cpu and memory)
color syntax highlighting
code folding
multiple files open as tabs
run & debug ruby (and other languages)
runs pretty much identically in Linux, *BSD, OSX, Windows

Cons:
limited to 10 open tabs
<whine>printing is sometimes flaky</whine>
<whine>occasional crashes (about once every few months)</whine>
<whine>line numbers not on by default</whine>
<whine>can run in windows....</whine>

yes, note the whine tags. They aren't really problems for me.

looks promising, but i have a problem building it on ruby1.9 on
linux... maybe i will wait more :wink:

I use Emacs with emacs-starter-kit and Rinari for Rails. But you can
take a look at E-Texteditor (人気の自動車保険を口コミ・相場からランキングでご紹介!). It seems
like it is free for linux and it looks a lot on TextMate and you can
find source on github.

I second that, sort of. :slight_smile:

I much prefer some variation on vim, but I've worked with folks who have vouched for the powers of Netbeans, folks who also like Textmate.

There is a vi plugin for Netbeans, but it was still not as comfortable for me as actual vim. However, if emacs or vim are not your choice, the project management code, completion, refactoring tools, Rake integration, built-in help, and other Ruby niceties in Netbeans are really good.

I strongly recommend taking the time to learn vim or emacs, but otherwise use Netbeans.

I use bluefish since 4 years and although there are many features I
never need, and some things I lack, I consciously stopped to use either
vim or emacs - because i think that this is a plague of linux which
prevents good GUIs from emerging. The hardcore Linux fans will probably
never understand this, but if everyone uses vim or emacs, evolution will
not happen in "GUI-country".

That's only the default configuration, change "buffers=10" on the configuration file for as many as you want.

I gave NetBean a try since yesterday : it's a better tool than RadRails considering the bare bone vital functions : editing, syntax coloring, auto completion, projects management. Netbeans is really faster than RadRails and didn't bombed (RadRails bombs every day, even on clean install).
