Comment on What is the best Ruby on Rails IDE

Comments

Was using Netbeans and then RubyMine when I first started. Then sat down one day for twenty minutes to try:

    $ vimtutor
Never looked back. It's been six months since I started Vim and I realized all I really want to develop Rails is a fast way to switch between files, find files, and arrange files onscreen.

The CommandT plugin for Vim has been absolutely amazing. You just start typing the path of a file and it'll narrow down search results. For instance if you want to get at a controller app/controllers/posts_controller.rb, you can just type any letters along the path. like, i'd type "acposts".
