Rails 3/1.9.2 debugging...with an IDE?

Question

I was using NetBeans but it seems that support for Ruby is officially dead (with some community element just starting up). I've seen threads for hacking ruby-debug to support Ruby 1.9 debugging in NB but I just feel like that's not the way to go. I just installed Aptana3 which will happily hit breakpoints but there's no support for watch expressions which limits visibility. I can't seem to find a straight answer as to why it's not supported or whether there are any plans to include it.

Is there a clear winner for debugging Rails3/1.9.2 in some sort of text editor?

Answer 1

RubyMine 3.0 by Jetbrains will let you debug Rails 1.9.2 like NetBeans used to do. While RubyMine is not free, it is affordable and a great Rails development environment.

Notice I do not work for JetBrains, I'm just a very satisfied customer.
