Debugger Comparison

IDE	Debugger
RadRails	In the 3.0.4 Release (2011-08-15) , it has fixed and improved the problem: Unable to run Ruby debugger on Windows. It can set breakpoints, inspect variables, control execution where the Radrails can help you with eliminating theses bugs.
Ruby Mine	The debugger has advanced graphical debugger which can be customized, that means it is easy for people to set the view and select toolbar command, etc. It also has the features such as flexible breakpoints, Dedicated Watches View and Remote Debugging. These can be found in JetBrains website 15
IntelliJ IDEA	When doing debugging, it is easy to take snapshots of arbitrary threads and dump them to dedicated debugger for further investigation. Also, IntelliJ IDEA provides you with the ability to specify how various objects are displayed in the debugger. In addition, it will save time when one wants to analyze complicated output of the debugger.
RDT Eclipse	The debugger functionality in Eclipse plug-in version is integrated as part of Aptana Studio 3 16, which implement almost the same as what RadRials'
Netbeans Ruby Support	It is all-convenient to set breakpoints, navigate the call stack and switch threads. What is more, debugging Ruby files that are not part of a Netbeans project is also handy. This IDE supports the Fast Ruby debugger 17, which also works with JRuby 18.
TextMate	The main distinct difference is that the debugger is lightweight and faster than the previous ones. When using the debug functionality, you can have only one Ruby code line processed by the interpreter and the return value will be inserted inline. It is easy to simply run a specified location in the code to check the value and invoke methods of objects.

Version Control Comparison

IDE	Version Control Systems
