12. Powerful Code Editor Code-completion In-place API documentation
Syntax highlighting
Mark occurrences
Go to declaration
Instant Rename
Semantic syntax highlighting shows method calls, unused variables, etc.

14. Live Code Templates ife<tab> if condition else end
Abbreviations that expand into snippets of code when the Tab key is pressed after typing the snippet name in the editor.
Most of the TextMate snippets have been converted into NetBeans code teampates.
Most TextMate snippets included

15. Source Level Debugging!

Local Variables
Call Stack
Threads
Watches
Balloon-Evaluation
Stepping, breakpoints, local variables, call stack, threads, watches, baloon-evaluation (hover the mouse over symbols in the editor to see their current value)

16. Unit Testing Test:Unit RSpec AutoTest
Supporting the built-in Test::Unit as well as RSpec and AutoTest

17. Ruby Gem Manager
View Installed Gems
Update existing Gems
Add new Gems

18. Welcome to the JRuby IRB Console
irb(main):001:0>
'Ruby'.length
=> 4
irb(main):002:0>
Interactive Ruby lets you interact with Ruby directly

19. Version Control
Subversion
CVS
Local History

20. Integrated Database Tooling
View Data
Execute SQL Command
Design Queries

21. Miscellaneous Stuff....
Window Tricks
Configuration

22. Plus, support for Rails

23. Project and Code Generators
Generate Models, Controllers ...
Skip or Overwrite existing files
Preview Only Option
Usage provided in dialog
Choose what to generate and how to deal with conflicts
Usage for each generator is displayed right there in the dialog
The output of the code generator is shown in the Output window.
The output is also process such that you can click directly on created files, skipped files, and so on to bring them up in the source editor.

24. Database Migrations

25. RHTML Editing <li>Syntax highlighting</li>
<li>Code completion</li>
You get highlighting of both the HTML and the RHTML directives, as well as the embedded Ruby code.
You can jump between actions and views using the “Goto Action/View” item, which is available in the context menu for both Ruby and RHTML files, as well as bound to Ctrl-Shift-A (Command-Shift-A on the Mac).
<li>Goto Action/View</li>

26. Server Integration WEBrick automatically started Server console window
Mongrel also supported
WEBrick, the built-in Ruby web server, is automatically started when the project is Run (if not already running).
The WEBrick console window shows the output of the web server. It will list the requests as they are processed.
You can use the Mongrel server as well; just install it via the Gem Manager
With Rails, there is no deployment step – the application is deployed in place.
If you hit Run File, NetBeans will try to open the browser on a more specific page; for example, the page corresponding to the controller you are editing

27. RHTML Debugging Set Breakpoints in your RHTML View local variables
Set watches
Call stack
Balloon Evaluations
