Working With Rails

I use windows 2003 Server( 64 bit ), it is doing good

I don’t think WWR has poll feature now, but I am sure it will be in the list of new features to be added to the site.

• Mac OS X Tiger (90% of my time)
• Ubuntu (Hardy release 64bit) (10% of my time)

The thought of having to go back to windows (& Cygwin) makes me wince now.

ubuntu with the drive shared onto my windows machine(s). So all actual coding is done in windows.. but the dev server is ubuntu.

I use Mac OS and Linux for ROR development.

I currently use Mac OS X for all of my ROR development, but I deploy all application to GNU/Linux (Debian) or Ubuntu distributions for production. I have also used Debian in the past to develop applications, but I think one of the main reasons people use (or even buy) Mac OSX is because of the TextMate editor.

@Tim Watson,
Do you share it accross a common FAT32 partition?

@Josh Martin,
Have you tried vim?
TextMate looks great too but I can’t try it out since I don’t own a Mac thought I’m looking to get Mac Laptop soon

My setup is much like Josh’s. I dev on my MacBook and run a dev server using ubuntu on ec2. I have tried going back to windows occasionally, when I’m at a clients without the option of using my laptop, but TextMate is a deal breaker. Nothing else even comes close to comparing to it. I’ll use vim remotely via a shell, but I’m too productive on TM to switch to any windows editor, ever.

I’ve also become hooked on a quicksilver and visor mix. For terminal and opening other programs there is nothing better or more effective that I have ever used at least.

I develop on a Windows XP at work using Aptana and I use OS X now freelance. I’m still using Aptana right now but I just downloaded Textmate so we’ll see how that goes. I currently deploy on Centos.

I use Mac OS Leopard and Textmate and I deploy to Debian Etch.
I still want to try out Netbeans for Rails development but I haven’t gotten around to it yet ;-)

OSX Leopard for my laptop (Textmate as well :p ). Servers are running Ubuntu and Debian

I develop on a MacBook running Leopard, and deploy to various Linux servers (ubuntu, gentoo, SuSE and Redhat).

I’m using TextMate here for my Rails development. I leave Eclipse for Java work (are you allowed to mention the J word here? :) ).

I’ve tried the rails support in Netbeans and Aptana Radrails but I found it too slow as I’m used to a plain text editor now.

@Housni Y:
your question made me do some research… Microsoft claims that NTFS doesn’t work well when you got multiple OSs.
Thing is, I access and write to my Windows XP NTFSpartition from Kubuntu all the time.
why should he be using FAT32?

I use Debian Gnu/Linux distribution for ROR development.

Ubuntu. By far the best. OS X is pretty good, though I find some bits of OS X annoying.

OSX w/ Textmate since 3+ yrs :D

I’ve used Ubuntu and Mac OS to develop RoR applications. For development, I like OS X and Textmate. Deployment is a whole other story though, with Linux being king.

For the last couple of years, it’s been developing on OS X and deploying to Ubuntu servers. Haven’t hit any showstopping glitches yet!

Was Windows, now a linux convertee. Ubuntu kicks ass.

I am currently using Arch Linux, a lightweight Linux distribution with an excellent package manager.

Despite previous experience with Linux on the desktop, I tried for the longest to set up a comfortable Ruby development enviroment under Vista, only to fail repeatedly. I used tricks such as Cygwin, running Linux under Virtual PC and in VmWare, or running the development enviroment under Linux and accessing it remotely. In the end I got tired and installed Linux again. I also got frustrated by Microsoft’s apparent ignorant stance toward power users. A command line which doesn’t make me want to bang my head in the table? Hello! It’s not asking for much..

Might consider OS X one day, but don’t feel comfortable with the whole Mac package deal thing.

I might add that I actually like bits and pieces of Vista. :).

i am using windows xp

Ubuntu 8.04 (32bit), using mostly gedit and 2 or 3 terminal windows does the trick for me. Have tried Netbeans and Aptana/RadRails but I am not really into the kind of automation they provide, so a basic editor with some minimal support (code highlight and integrated file browser) is more than enough for me.

i use:
Win XP

For development, Mac OS X
For production, Fedora Core and Cent OS

Linux…. :D
