Replacement for RubyMine

After russians attacked my native city this morning I want to replace RubyMine, made by russian company JetBrains, with an alternative. Can you advice a replacement for Ruby on Rails Development?

I would be interested in an alternative too. I know JetBrains was created by Russians living in Czech republic so I am not sure it is directly supporting the russian state, however I am sure the devs have family in Russia that could be pressured. I am also concerned that there was rumours that the solarwinds hack was as a result of malicious code in RubyMine.

Most people use either VS Code or vim (I prefer vim but my coworkers prefer VS Code)

"JetBrains s.r.o. is a Czech software development company which makes tools for software developers and project managers."

This is only registration address. In reality it is a company with head office in Saint Petersburg.

They made a public statement within a day from the invasion citing they strongly object it. Being a Russian and doing this publicly - so early - is pretty dangerous for the founders. So yea, they aren't supporting Putin, you can calm your mind and continue using RM because an alternative doesn't exist.

Vim is forever.

But if you're happy with RubyMine please continue using it and supporting JetBrains. They're ok. https://twitter.com/jetbrains/status/1496786254494670851

If you're used to the high-level convenience features from JetBrains' IDEs, I believe you're SOL. Coincidentally, this is the main reason I don't use JetBrains' IDEs.

For work, where you need to get productive fast, you can't beat VS Code. But, I recently switched from VS Code to Doom Emacs, and have been loving it. Doom Emacs has pretty good support for Ruby/Rails, might be worth looking into :)
