Of all the IDE I've used I hate Netbeans the least. But, note that I
don't use any of them for Ruby development. I basically have to use an
IDE for my Java work to keep myself sane. I just can't bring myself to
say that I "like" any of them though.

As for Ruby and Ruby on Rails, I'm a Textmate users. As far as any
debate on whether Textmate could be categorized as an IDE, I don't
really care. All I know is that I find it to be an excellent text editor
for writing code.

The IDEs that constantly popup suggestions for completion actually
drives me a bit nuts. I know a lot of people love that sort of thing.
However, I want a text editor that helps me edit text, and then gets out
of my way so I can write code. I don't need, or want, it to try to write
code for me.

This is what Textmate does for me. I also know a number of developers
that prefer VIM, but for very similar reasons. I could see the appeal of
being able to stick to one tool (a terminal in this case), but I'm still
a lot more comfortable with a terminal window and a Textmate window.
