Do you see those users migrating to RubyMine?ĭJ: Yes, we see some of the users migrating already, and we definitely want to make RubyMine attractive to everyone who uses plain text editors. RB: Many Ruby and Ruby on Rails developers have chosen to use plain text editors such as TextMate, Vim and Emacs. Once IntelliJ IDEA 9 is released, the feature set of plugin and RubyMine should become equal. But, RubyMine uses the newer IntelliJ platform than the one publicly available now (IntelliJ 8.x) and hence some features may not be available in the plugin because of this limitation.

RB: So, for developers who own IntelliJ, they can get a plugin that will give them all the functionality of RubyMine itself?ĭJ: Generally, yes, the Ruby plugin for IntelliJ IDEA and RubyMine have the same functionality - they are built from the single code base. We're looking at other frameworks that are popular in the Ruby community, and it's possible that some of them will be supported in future versions of RubyMine. RB: Who is the intended user of RubyMine?ĭJ: At the moment our primary target audience is Rails developers, although Ruby developers working on non-Rails projects can also find many useful features in RubyMine. My responsibilities include overall release planning, designing the architecture of the product, work on the IntelliJ IDEA platform (adapting it for use in RubyMine and other products), and general help with coding, bugfixing and support whenever that is needed. DJ: I'm the development lead for RubyMine.
