Can anyone vouch for RubyMine? Its going to be my first venture in to the language, is it a good tool to have? I'm looking at Rubymine and PHPstorm, at these prices ill call it a Christmas present from me to me. Unfortunately lots of other people seem to have the same idea and the site is currently bricked.

One vote for rubymine. It handles all the rubyisms like rvm, rbenv, bundler and the various servers nicely as well as syntax hightlighting for all the ususals plus haml, coffeescript etc.

It also looks like it will be getting nice Torquebox integration soon if you are a jruby / Torquebox person.

I must admit though that I do not use the advanced features half as much as I should.

Does anyone know how, say, IntelliJ handles Javascript? or RubyMine? For instance, If I've got a Rails project with JS in it, do I need both WebStorm and RubyMine? Wish there was "one IDE to rule them all!" type of thing. I don't work in just one language.

Intellij handles Javascript great. One advantage of AppCode is that the IDE smarts aren't limited to Objective C code but also includes JS code, which works well when I'm working on my WebView/JS-based projects. I haven't used RubyMine directly, but I would be surprised if it didn't have JS smarts like all their other IDEs. However, I would echo chrizel's comment that Intellij would be that one IDE to rule them all, at least in your case. Intellij has some Ruby plugins that worked well enough when I played around with Ruby a few years back, and the plugin is developed and maintained by JetBrains themselves.

I believe you can download it and evaluate for 30 days. In your case, it may be more like 23 hours, but you still get to play.

I've had pretty good success with most basic JavaScript stuff, whether in a .js file or embedded in some server side template. Haven't tested it with more complex stuff though. I also concur with my siblings here that IntelliJ IDEA is my "one IDE to rule them all!".

btw - personal licences only (i.e. not commercial licenses).

I own personal licenses for 3 of their products. I use all three products for commercial work, but those licenses are my personal property. Two of those I use in my day job, the other I use for my spare time iOS development.

I like the Copyright date range at the bottom of that page. I recently renewed my WebStorm license (it's valid till August 2013). If anyone from Jetbrains is reading this, can I renew it for another year today?

From their terms page: Regardless of the actual upgrade subscription renewal date, your new upgrade subscription term will always start on the date following your previous upgrade subscription expiration date.
