Rails, on development mode is SLOW. Very, very slow. I run Vista, and I set config.cache_classes = true in development.rb... But, it's still slow and I have to restart the server after I change my code. My coworker develops Rails on a Mac and sees similar slowness. My development time slows down significantly because it takes minutes ...

First, you can easily compile/run your program just by checking out your repository. You don't have to have anything else. Second, the triple is surely versio...
Is it time to switch to Win7 for primary dev? I mostly deal with maven, eclipse, eclipse-derivatives, VMWare workstation, virtualbox, and other dev-centric tools. I'm wary to switch now, but I have msdn access to the RTM release, and I'm thinking of upgrading? What are your concerns for Windows 7? Have you switched yet? What are the pros...
