### " Excellent IDE for your Ruby on Rails projects"

June 8, 2022

5.0

I have been using this product for over 4 years to do web development using Ruby on Rails it is a very capable IDE and an ally of Rails developers. With this IDE I have been able to be more agile when creating or developing a web application since it does not give many recommendations of good practices and functions and methods according to the need

Pros

What I like the most about this IDE is how easy it is to use, its organization in terms of the project, the help it has and that we can have the entire development environment in one place, say Database, terminal and edition Ruby source code

Cons

So far I have nothing negative to add since it has been everything I was looking for

Reason for choosing RubyMine

It was the most comfortable, friendly and with more productivity features that you can evaluate and know

### "Visual Studio Code competitor"

November 18, 2022

5.0

It's a perfect match for every Ruby/RoR developer on any level of experience if you're okay with the price.

Pros

The level of pre-configuration of this IDE for ruby/RoR development is brilliant on every field, but for someone who wants to cut expenses I'm not sure if its worth its price against Visual Studio Code + community free plugins. The biggest advance of RubyMine is that its basically ready to go since day 1 of installing it vs some tinkering required when going with free alternatives. I've used RubyMine long time ago, but from what I remember I've enjoyed most is syntax highlight/intellisense and how i18n translation mechanism is being handled - managing multiple languages and updating it even in huge projects was very comfortable in comparison to other IDEs not dedicated to Ruby/RoR development.

Cons

The price. RubyMine, like most of the software from IntelliJ is very pricey, but if software development is your daily job, then you can eventually go through it. As far as I've remembered RubyMine was also very memory-heavy and it has not always run smooth on every hardware (but that might be an outdated information as I was using RubyMine couple years ago).

### "Good IDE with a lot of features, could use a speed increase"

June 23, 2022

4.0

Overall experience is good, but could be better if the resource consumption is optimized

Pros

\- A lot of features are integrated, making it a full-fledged IDE and not just a barebones code editor - Related to the above point, we don't need to install a lot of plugins to have important functionalities (eg Git blame) - Debugging options are nice - Rubymine specifically also has most of the features of Webstorm, making it a good option to write JavaScript/TypeScript code as well

Cons

\- Probably because of the bunch of built-in features, the speed is not great. Takes its sweet time to start, index, and even close - Consumes significant computing resource, making the computer slower

### "A unique ID for web developers in ruby"

July 23, 2022

5.0

I have used this IDE for no more than 8 months where I have had the opportunity to develop web applications using Ruby as a programming language and its Ruby on Rails framework, this IDE has helped me take this development to another level both in agility, organization and performace at the time of delivery

Pros

What I like most about this ID is that it is easy to use, organizes the code and helps developers use best practices with unique recommendations in the Ruby language and its Ruby on Rails framework for web development.

Cons

In the little that I have used the product, I have not yet found any negative characteristics, but I know that not everything is perfect.

### "Excellent development platform"

February 1, 2023

4.0

We currently have a development in Ruby which has made it easier for us to create a platform for lunch orders in the company, the integration was excellent and so far it has not given us any problems

Pros

Part of what I like the most is the autocompletion of the code, the integration, it is easy to use, if you are a developer of course!

Cons

I understand that for someone who is not used to using IDE, at first it can be a bit difficult.

### "Ruby Mine is great for all Ruby Development"

November 7, 2022

4.0

Overall a great experience with ruby mine and I would recommend to any serious ruby developer

Pros

Had all the options for all the various Ruby libraries and packages and frameworks. Even had support for ruby based options and things like gradle to help with ruby development.

Cons

A better tutorial on how this affected or changes different options especially with how it effects the ruby environment. A bit expensive as well if not used all the time.

### "Highly reliable database"

March 31, 2023

4.0

This is where I started learning and using databases, that means this was the base of all. I was used to write queries and try those out with oracle.

Pros

Most importantly, this supports various data types like text, binary data and numbers and oracle can handle large amount of data efficiently. Also we can easily integrate it with multiple programming languages where I used it in multiple projects with different languages. This supports data backup and replicas and it make sure the availability of data in an unexpected condition.

Cons

As a drawback what I see is the resource consumption of the tool. It takes lot memory and CPU power and that makes my old laptop slower.
