Last time I checked, there is at least 3-4 different interpreters for Ruby worth using (classic, YARV, Rubinius & JRuby) from an IDEA users perspective. Presumably their command line arguments all differ, and Rails adds another dimension to it all. My experience of IDEAs Run configurations is nothing but positive - its defaults are the most sensible you can think of, so all that configuration is a bit misleading - you rarely have to use it unless you need it. IDEA is a great tool - the first Java IDE worth a damn, and without it, eclipse would have nothing to steal good ideas from. I am certainly quite happy to see them adding Ruby support.
