The original core developers of Kyle, Matt, and Marc have refocused their energies on other projects. On March 8, 2007 it was announced that Aptana will be taking over the RadRails project and providing a seamless, integrated experience between HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Ruby on Rails. The product will continue to be open source.
Issues
- RadRails lacks an IntelliSense-like code autocomplete feature.
- Running on the Java Virtual Machine can make it slower than natively compiled IDE's like KDevelop.
