WebStorm vs. RubyMine

Groups that use a [variety] of development environments (.net, python, web), Jebrain's products and Webstorm, in particular, are a great choice for productivity. If your developers are accustom to another IDE it might be better for all to sync on the same one. I wouldn't take the cost aspect as a consideration. A productive developer is far more important.

If you are Ruby On Rails Developer, RubyMine is great choice of IDE. It provides good integration with rails so that running rake tasks, generators, bundle install all can be done from within the IDE. So using RubyMine it decreases extra time to go to googling syntax for Ruby code and making developer more productive.

• Includes a built in spell checker to eliminate time wasted searching for small mistakes.
• Provides a drop down menu of options complete with keyboard shortcuts that allow for streamlined programming.
• Identifies when variables are named differently, allowing for cohesive work without the scrolling.

• auto completes almost all syntax for Ruby On Rails
• RubyMine is having ability to browse the source code for any gem you are using
• find in project work fast and too much effective
• Adding a breakpoints and debugging code for errors is just great with RubyMine

• The popup file search sometimes frustrates me. It caps the number of results, and sometimes it isn't clear that it simply stopped looking. I also used to have trouble finding string occurrences that I knew were in my project, but I think they've made improvements in this area recently.
• Being a AAA IDE, WebStorm can be a memory hog. If I don't kill it every few days, it can get really slow. I would love to see performance improvements.
• Speaking of performance, WebStorm can take a long time to launch. I'd like to see improvements in launch times.

• frequent software updates is sometimes tedious
• uses more CPU memory to run, it's not light weight process

It's an irreplaceable part of my toolkit and isn't that expensive per year.

Great in debugging, testing, developing and maintaining softwares in a number of languages. Great support for many languages and their syntaxes. Great support of many third party extensions and plugins like GIT and html plugins. The RAM usage of WebStorm however could be really improved, it literally takes almost all of the RAM of my machine with 16GB RAM

I gave this rating because I have never needed their customer support, which is the highest level of support I suppose. When a product works just fine out of the box and everything you may need is well documented, it's a paradise for the customer. But I've seen some questions asked on their portal, and I've seen thorough answers given to the questions and the willingness to support the customer with follow-ups and everything else.

Highly recommend the JetBrains Toolbox, it remembers your recent projects and launches from the task bar.

I think WebStorm is way ahead of open-source editors. Please don't get me wrong, I love open-source. But the other free editors have a lot of configuration which blocks my whole coding experience. Take "Atom" for example. I used it for about 3 months, but in that time I had to update the plugins hundreds of time, and for every little thing (e.g. linter) I had to download a community plugin, and with each plugin atom would get a little slow. Take "Eclipse" for another example, which is very suited for Java, but not so suited for JavaScript. Sublime was good, but WebStorm comes with many exciting features that I did not find in sublime/notepad.

RubyMine is specifically for Ruby On Rails so it is more focused and having more syntax autocompletion and other tasks automation with good code debugging skill. So, for particular Ruby On Rails project development it is much more advanced and effective than any other general IDE like Visual studio and Sublime Text.

• Saves lot of time when we are finding the text or files.
• Easy to work with for support projects.
• Nice code completion feature.
• It's all in one solution for both front end, back end and database solution to work with.
• Initial learning curve is required to use the workbench.
• Documentation can be improved better probably adding videos, would be helpful for visual person.

• sometimes it feels slow down system because of using RubyMine as it requires more memory and power.
• RubyMine is great choice of any Ruby On Rails Developer as it reduces time of project development by providing lots of inbuilt functionalities like autocompletes syntax running rake task, git integrations and many more
