It's one of the two stand-outs for non-OS X rails development. It seems the biggest downside can be the flexibility that is it's strength. Any of the object-orented practices and structure are optional. Javascript when it's done well can be very good indeed, but when it's done bad it is horrid.

Free Web IDE for Javascript, HTML, CSS. I think they even have a beta with support for Ruby, Rails, etc. You guys should check out Aptana (www.aptana.org). Free Web IDE for Javascript, HTML, CSS.

Javascript is very forgiving ... and like Perl it kind of lets you believe that "what you don't know wont hurt you". I find functions as first class objects, pretty amazing. Firefox + Firebug is a decent debugging option for online apps. Overall, I agree that better IDE integration and off line debuggers will make developers more productive.
