Ruby IDE

Hello guys,

I've been trying Ruby for a while in Mac OS X 10.5, but I am working with
Textmate as text editor and running from the command line. I would like to
be able to do more things like debug or running the application with F5 or
something like this.

I've been trying Apple Xcode and it works good, but it is all prepared to
work Cocoa and not for a Ruby and Rails application for instance.

What IDE would you suggest?

Thanks in advance,

Guillermo

Netbeans and Aptana are two IDE's that offer debugging. Netbeans
is slow but IMO has the best Ruby support an IDE could hope for. Aptana is
faster and lighter but with less features.

TextMate can do things like this, and more.

Try pressing Command-R.

On the bottom bar, click the button to the left of "Tab Size" and you can see the things TextMate can do for you (tab completion, ri lookups, etc).

You are right! Textmate can do some of those things. But I have downloaded
Netbeans as Leslie suggested and I like it. I've been debugging already.

Thanks!
