RubyMine 1.0 Steps Into the Ruby IDE Ring

JetBrains, the developers of IntelliJ IDEA and ReSharper among others, released its first foray into the Ruby space with RubyMine 1.0 – an IDE for Ruby and Ruby on Rails development.

RubyMine was released as a Public Preview in November and received great feedback from the Ruby community. Dmitry Jemerov, the lead developer of RubyMine had to say this about the community support:

Despite the belief that most Ruby/Rails developers are happy writing code in simple text editors, we had RubyMine downloaded around 25,000 times since the Public Preview announcement. Early RubyMine adopters provided a great deal of feedback and worthy improvement suggestions. We are certain that, as with all of our highly-intelligent development tools, Ruby developers can be extremely productive by using RubyMine. In fact, version 1.0 is just the beginning — we have tons of ideas and plans for new releases.

RubyMine 1.0 has several key groupings of functionality developers should look toward to understand what this IDE can do for them.
