I found a blog post this morning about why Ruby on Rails will not become mainstream.
I'm not sure I agree with all the points, but I do think that not having a good IDE is a problem. At least for me, coming from the Java side, I miss being able to debug in my editor, and to use auto-complete when I'm using slightly unfamiliar parts of the API.
Sure, TextMate is a fine product, and I'm still very excited about Ruby on Rails, but I'm not convinced it will dethrone Java.
