But both are so slow on my recently bought machine ( Intel Core 2 Duo , nVidia 9600 1 GB , 4 GB RAM , Windows Vista ) thats its of no practical use . FTP hangs in between , SVN hangs here-and-there , God knows . For Eclipse i used SVN Connector ( Polarion something ) , for DB I used DTP . All are buggy and slow . Previously I left Netbeans(Eclipse) in favour of UltraEdit because I had an Old Machine ( AMD Athlon , 1 GB RAM , nVidia 5200 128 MB ) . But now with 5 GB Memory at disposal , Netbeans and Eclipse are still slow . They are , as someone will argue meant for Enterprise Projects or some shit like that . So leave them for them and go for UltraEdit ( UEStudio ) . It integrates seamlessly with Tortoise SVN , FTP and SSH is built-in . Loads fast . Has Syntax Highlighting for Ruby , HTMl , Javascript etc . UEStudio ( Ultraedit ) works great for Windows . It is primarily focussed towards PHP and Ruby . Linux Users like me probably know what they are doing :) Theres plethora . Best would be Scite or gEdit . gEdit comes by default with Fedora and Ubuntu and has Syntax highlighting for Ruby . For Mac , Use Textmate :) Again , Netbeans comes for all OS's . You can try it ( or Eclipse ) . But , I threw my hands up in frustration and came back to UEStudio ( Ultraedit ) .
