Best Development Environment for Ruby

Hi, what is another alternative to using ruby on a system other than windows or cloud9? I'm having trouble with both systems. They are both becoming really frustrating to work with.

Here are a few hints that might help you get setup on Windows:

Both the rvm and 0.0.0.0 only apply if you are working on a OS X or Linux.

On windows the way to start rails is to type rails s webbrick will then tell you the address it's starting on. By default you can access the rails web server webbrick on 127.0.0.1:3000.

Use CTRL-BREAK you will stop the webbrick server.
