RubyMine - The best IDE for RoR development
What do you like best?
The best part about Rubymine is its Intelligence, where it maps the whole codebases and makes references of all function definations and calls and you can head to that function on the click of a button. It has also the ability to directly integrate popular version management systems like SVN and GIT and lot of other plugins to make the development and code deployment a seamless process.Another great part about RubyMine is its ability to autocmplete code and give suggestions for common methods even those imported from 3rd party gems(libraries). Ohh and how can i forget the local history feature where RuvyMine saves all the history of the local changes done in a file so that the user can partially/fully revert some unwanted to change he did few hours back without needing to use the version management system
What do you dislike?
There is hardly anything to dislike about RubyMIne. The main thing that is sort of an issue is the RAM used by rubymine after extended periods of usage, But a simple restart of the application resolves that issue

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
I am a developer working for an MNC developing a CMS based in Ruby on Rails. The benifits are tremendous, features like auto error reporting, code suggestions, various unique shortcuts improve the productivity of the developer massively.
