I swapped from RubyMine to VSCode in the last few months. I'm not entirely thrilled with the change, as RubyMine had more powerful code inspection, was better at jumping to method definitions, etc. However, there were other things I wanted to do with the money that I would have spent on the IDE.

I do have a fallback license for RubyMine 2017.2.5 that I would be more than happy to keep using, but we use WSL at work, support for which only made it into RubyMine in version 2017.3.

So close, yet so far.

If anyone uses VSCode for Ruby on Rails and has any hot tips about getting the code inspection to run smoothly, I'd love to chat!
