I have Netbeans 6.7 on the Mac Os X platform and its quite an ordeal to get it to install gems without putting it in the wrong directory because it executes installation that requires installation using sudo and does not prompt for the password, so stuff gets installed in the wrong directory.

I agree with that.

In my view when you learn a technology you better be close the metal.
I've known Java web developers that don't understand what's going on
because they have started directly with the metaphors a framework
gives on top of HTTP. I recommend them to pick a book on bare CGI
programming, nothing like that let's you see how naked web programming
is, and once you know what's going on *then* you are productive and
know what you are doing with a framework.

Similarly, IDEs understood as something you live in hide what's going
on. And that includes the emacs guy that does everything in emacs,
runs irb in emacs, runs the test suite in emacs, runs migrations in
emacs, etc. That is an IDE in my definition of IDE.

To someone who is learning I would recommend to use a simple editor
that does syntax highlighting, and is free, like Smultron or Crimson
editor, and understand the command line and environment which is
natural to your programming language, in addition to PATH, RUBYLIB,
what is a shebang in Unix, etc. I've been teaching Perl in the
university for a few years and that's the way I do it. *Once* you know
the basics, then you can jump to use a tool that let's you manage all
that stuff in a proficient way. But then you are driving, you are in
control, instead of having a bunch of fuzzy concepts that somehow work
together.
