Which Text Editor is Best for Rails Development?

beautifulpeacock1

This discussion is for developers who use Rails to build web applications. What text editor do you use for coding? What features do you like about it and what are the pros and cons?I use Visual Studio Code for coding in Rails. I like that it is lightweight and easy to use, and it has a lot of features that make coding easier. It also has a great integration with git and GitHub, which makes it easier to collaborate. The cons are that it can be a bit slow at times, and it doesn't have as many plugins as some other editors.I'm curious to hear what other developers use and what they like and don't like about it.

I use Sublime Text for all my Rails development. It's fast, easy to use, and has a ton of features. With Sublime, I can easily search and replace text, make multi-select edits, and customize the look and feel of the text editor. The sidebar also comes in handy when organizing projects and jumping between files. Beyond standard text editing capabilities, Sublime also offers great support for Rails. With packages like Rails Snippets, SublimeLinter, and Ruby Slim, I have access to snippets and syntax highlighting for Ruby, HTML, CSS and more. Sublime Text is my go-to for all Rails development.
