Interface Segregation Principle vs. Principle of Small Interfaces
Introduction
This page tries to review Integrated Development Environments for Ruby such as Aptana,Rubymine and Netbeans. Also the IDEs are compared with respect to certain dimensions such as facilities, ease of use, system requirements, and support for the Ruby way of thinking.
Interface Segregation Principle
* “Many client specific interfaces are better than one general purpose interface“ * “The dependency of one class to another one should depend on the smallest possible interface“ * “Make fine grained interfaces that are client specific.“ * “Clients should not be forced to depend upon interfaces that they don’t use. This principle deals with the disadvantages of fat interfaces. Fat interfaces are not cohesive. In other words the interfaces of classes should be broken into groups of member functions.“
Comparision of Aptana,Netbeans and Rubymine
Three IDEs namely Aptana's Radrails, Netbeans and Rubymine are compared in the following sections.

Version Control Integration
Netbeans IDE directly supports CVS root types.In Netbeans SVN access is via custom protocol to an SVN server. Netbeans supports Git kenai.com subversion ,mercurial,and Git repositories.Even we can specify our external source code.
Rubymine has CVS installed and turned on automatically. Git integration is enabled. It supports SVN repositories too along with perforce( one of the subversions) integration
Radrails has the feature to install the three things as plugins.

Debugging Features
All the Three IDE's supports ruby-debuggers.
Netbeans supports classic debugger which is slow and ruby debugger, which is fast and only works with native ruby interpreter.
Radrails also supports classic and ruby debugger. Classic is a pure ruby debugger based on debug.rb script. Classic 1.8.0 and 1.8.2 works on windows. It also offers ability to run a debugger using ruby debug gem as background.
Rubymine offers ruby debugging. Rubymine has convenient user interface. It allows smart and flexible breakpoint insertions. It also allows remote debugging features. It has Built in Expression Evaluator.

Features for Ruby on Rails
Other Features available in IDE's
In addition to Ruby support the IDE's offer support to other scripting languages also. The Features available are listed below in each of the three IDE's under consideration

Conclusion
The Three IDE's have been compared for different features. It is very difficult to conclude which IDE is best suited for Ruby. All the three IDE's provide many features in Ruby. Radrails is available as a plugin for eclipse. Users comfortable working with Eclipse can use this plugin and use Ruby on Eclipse. Netbeans provide support for other languages like Java, C++, etc along with Ruby. It is best suited if users like to use other languages along with Ruby. RubyMine is designed only for Ruby. RubyMine provides many Refactoring Tools which are not available in Radrails and Netbeans
