I've been a regular Eclipse user for a while, and I've enjoyed RDT (the Ruby plugin for Eclipse) for a long while now. Unfortunately, my days of using Eclipse as a Ruby editor have effectively come to an end.
Ever since I upgraded to 0.9.0 the memory footprint of opening Ruby files is outrageous. Checking the process list, I see the Eclipse process weighing in normally at about 70mb of RAM, but topping over 300mb the moment I load even a single Ruby file. I do not have a top of the line system at work, so that is simply unacceptable. Even my 2 year old laptop with 1gb of RAM gets jittery with so much memory being consumed.
Unfortunately, I still prefer Eclipse for project management and SCM integration, and neither Komodo nor NetBeans satisfy me in this regard, though they do have great editors and debuggers. But, most of the time I'm just using gvim for editing. :)
