At least in the past, the JetBrains products have always felt a little smoother to me, easier to navigate, easier to edit, somewhat more powerful.

The error on Timecop.freeze is almost certainly because RubyMine is interpreting it as the object#freeze, which takes no arguments. Timecop.freeze takes one argument, so RubyMine interprets that as an error.

I couldn't see any real benefit at all, if I'm honest. My ruby-debug-ide and ruby-debug-base gems were out of date and the debugger didn't work, but the fix was only found though support, which was poor (although the support was good). I mostly don't find I need - or want - the overhead of a full-blown IDE except on the (rare) occasions I need to debug, usually because I want to dip into the framework, most likely due to some comprehension failure on my part. Otherwise lots of little tests and a capable text editor seem to work Just Fine. I couldn’t see $99-worth of benefit over NetBeans. I couldn’t see any real benefit at all, if I’m honest.

If there's a change/tweak I can make to the library, I'd be happy to accept a patch (or help you figure out a patch). -John Hi Noel,

Let me know if you determine the cause of the error being identified when you call Timecop.freeze. If there’s a change/tweak I can make to the library, I’d be happy to accept a patch (or help you figure out a patch).
