What's the best programming environment for programming in scheme for Gimp 2.6?
Does Guile integrate well with Gimp?
I know this question is old but I do not believe it was answered well. GIMP does not use Guile. The current GIMP uses TinyScheme and older versions used SIOD. Your best bet for developing is Emacs + Quack + TinyScheme. You will have trouble if you try to use Guile to develop scripts because TinyScheme does not provide everything that Guile does.
EMACS, of course. It's the best environment for everything.
Seriously, best how? GIMP scheme is Guile, so both EMACS and VIM should do well; Eclipse has a scheme plugin, as I recall; of course there is PLT Scheme/MzScheme etc.

what is the best IDE for developing Ruby on rails project for a website on Linux based platform ? i also need to devrlop the front end . i am using mongodb for database.
NetBeans is pretty good.
Vim with the rails.vim and snipMate scripts :)
Personally I just use a Sublime Text Editer that makes most easy for our code development....
Sublime Text is a sophisticated text editor for code, markup and prose.
features
slick user interface
extraordinary features
amazing performance
no need to install (Portable)

Personally I just use a text editor, but I've heard good things from other developers about RubyMine.
I'd recommend Komodo Edit http://www.activestate.com/komodo-edit
I've used it for several Rails projects now. It's a nice text editor with good project browsing and a few convenience features. Works on Mac, Windows and Linux, so is nice and portable.
I tried the pay version, but found it to be overkill.
If you want to go lightweight, vim + rails.vim is an awesome combo.
If you want a heavier IDE, check out RubyMine. I've been using it for about 5 months now, and it's really quite excellent - I'm not normally an IDE guy, but it's got enough nice features that I've stuck with it.

I suggest you avoid finding some bloated memory hog of an IDE. You don't get much benefit from them in dynamically typed languages. If you want syntax highlighting, indentation, easy project navigation, etc, just use vim with rails.vim, as jrdioko suggested. You'll be impressed with many of its features and it's super lightweight.
It's not an IDE, but I really rate using Gedit with the Gmate plugin
Try out RubyMine 6. It is amazing.
It has pretty good features for specially Ruby on Rails.

What IDE / Editor do you use for Ruby on Linux?
what do you consider the best ide for developing ruby and rails on linux? thanks.
I guess I'll be the guy that answers "Emacs" this time.
Try Arachnoruby or Eclipse
I know it's not for Linux, but I'd say Textmate anyway, it is reason enough to get a Mac :)
To be more serious, I would recommend vi, or more precisely Vim.
It's more lightweight than anything else and still manage to do the job right, so for Linux I don't think there are any other options and for Ubuntu (and probably Debian and the rest of them) there is even a package, vim-rails, that contain a lot of scripts to ease up the development.
I don't think you need an IDE. Rails isn't that complicated, all it takes is a text editor and a terminal.
So, I recommend that you use a text editor such as emacs, vim, gedit or whatever. The KDE/Gnome terminals are more than good enough. You might want to look into using ZSH instead of bash.
It appears that NetBeans and Aptana/RadRails are the most common adopted IDE's for Ruby on Rails development, but both needs the Java Runtime Environment to run.
I'm looking for an IDE wich doesn't need JRE to run. If it is lightweight and installs very fast would be better, because I will be programming in computers with old hardware and Windows XP.
Do you know any? Thanks a lot.
Maybe E?
I am a big fan of SciTE and the command line.
Actually I would say that Vim paired with rails.vim is amongst the most popular editors for Rails. Vim, gVim and Cream are all available for Windows.
Learning curve is massively steep, but its worth it.
Also, if you are doing any serious Rails work, development on Windows sucks. It takes way too long to spin up a script/console or a web. Tooling is much better on Linux. When I'm doing Rails work on my Windows box I do it on an Ubuntu VM.
Komodo Edit is one of the best IDEs I've ever used, and it has Rails support (although maybe not as good as Aptana/RadRails). If you have money to spare, I'd highly recommend Komodo IDE, as it has some great extra features, but if not, Komodo Edit has everything you need. As for speed, it's slow to start up but after that it's as fast as any other "lightweight" editor you've used.
What about the editor that comes with ruby-one-click for windows? Would it work? (the one written in ruby).
There is also gvim or vim if you are feeling adventurous.
JetBrains RubyMine
I did not use this program, but "System Requirements" did not indicate requirements for Java Runtime Environment in Windows version.
I would like to use Kdevelep as a Ruby on Rails IDE as I'm using Linux. How do I set up Kdevelop to enable this?
You could use Kdevelop or Kate, although I don't know that there is a big community of support for these editors. If you are on Linux you are best to check out VIM, it's the 2nd most popular editor for Ruby/Rails (with Textmate being #1).
There is a really good writeup on how to set-up VIM at:
http://blog.adamlowe.com/2009/12/vim-destroys-all-other-rails-editors.html
If you use VIM with all the various tpope and NerdTree plugins you'll pretty much be set.

I currently use TextMate for all my Rails development, and I like it very much, but I wonder if I'm missing anything by not using an IDE. Has anyone switched from using TextMate or another powerful text editor to a Ruby IDE? Am I missing anything?
JetBrains, the people who created the legendary IDEA IDE for Java, have RubyMine in beta. DHH has mentioned it, so it must be good!
TextMate is king for Development on Mac, it's not too bloated and has so many good bundles made by the developers that use those particular languages. Can't be beat in my opinion.
I think IntelliJ/RubyMine is pretty good because I've been coding Java for a while. There's some feature holes for Rails development, but I expect that Jetbrains will quickly fix those in coming versions.
I just got turned onto Textmate because my laptop is a Powerbook 12" G4. Running IntelliJ is pretty snappy, but it makes the fans run constantly with a volume approaching "airplane engine". Working with Textmate keeps my laptop quiet.
In my opinion textmate is the best IDE if you have a Mac. It is highly customizable and you can pretty much do everything you want with it. Plus a lot of developers are using textmate for rails and therefore creating scripts and features that you can import and use.
I'm using Aptana with radrails when I'm on windows, but it's not as good. Plus you can't customize it as much. The other issue is that since it's based on eclipse it's quite ressource intensive and from my experience it's not as stable as textmate.
Aptana has some cool features, like being able to call script/generate and rake tasks directly from the interface, but this is something I could live without.
Aptana RadRails is one of the best Ruby IDEs out there, with Rails support, HTML editors, etc. It is a plugin for Eclipse, and is also supplied standalone.
I use Netbeans because I like the test support and test coverage features combined with the fact that I can use it for multiple languages & environments. They really try to provide a complete environment but I find I still have to step out to the command line a lot - starting thinking_sphinx, running cucumber, tailing logs etc.. so it is never quite comprehensive. It is also slow as hell on my slow as hell laptop.
I used the eclipse rails plugin for a while and it is also pretty good but Netbeans had a pretty good feature surge for 6.5. that won me over.
If you're on Windows you may want to look at "Ruby in Steel"
I've just found it and have not worked with it much nbut the experience so far is good. So if you use VisualStudio for your job this may be a nice addon to help get Ruby into the same environment.
On a mac it is probably not worth it as TextMate is very optimized for Rails development through bundles. I did use AptanaIDE when I was on Windows though. The main problem here is not the IDE itself but the fact that it is not useable (as in snappy enough) on the machine I had. And strangely enough for a Ruby programmer I believe that a program that makes editing unformatted text feel sluggish on a 1Ghz/Gbyte machine is doing something wrong.
Has anyone switched from using TextMate or another powerful text editor to a Ruby IDE? Am I missing anything?
Yes, I recently switched from Vim to RubyMine. (And I also used TextMate before that.) Personally I think the tradeoff is worthwhile, because of how well designed and well implemented RubyMine is. So the quality of the tool makes up for the heavier footprint.
The things I felt I was "missing" with Vim included well-implemented code completion, open files by typing partial filename, click on a symbol to go to the declaration, and a lot of other stuff.
I really like Komod for Ruby and Python development.
