Many elements of ROR are normally obscured to the higher level environment of a simple text editor and a simple line-level server development environment, and the Apatana Studio debugger reveals pretty much everything in an easy to see manner. I can't emphasize enough that the debugger alone is a good reason to use it. It has brought benefit to me every step of the way over the past 10 years, due to its rich ruby debugger and other somewhat standard "IDE" abilities (code assist, todo task manager, excellent and easy to use search (both in-document and at the project level), and inboard server.there are other tools, but these are the ones that are productivity tools for me). It was incredibly helpful when I first began learning RoR, since its debugger helps to reveal many variables a beginner might need to use but which they would not otherwise see or even be aware of. Personally, I use Aptana Studio, even if it's now somewhat antiquated/out-of-date and pretty much unsupported (officially) at this point.
