There are a number of things I setup by default, folder structure, helper files, snippets, etc. I do this a lot, so have a tool that automates some of this. I've posted it on Bitbucket but it is very much a work in progress.

IDE vs. Editor vs. ...
I've played with a lot of different IDEs and editors for ruby and have settled on one for use when I'm on my desktop, and one for use while I'm on my phone or tablet (yes, there are sometimes when I have an idea or 'fix' that needs to be in and I'm not at my computer). After playing with IDEs like Aptana, eclipse, RubyMine, Geany, and some crazy mash ups called CubicTest and Bromine, I found that they all had some benefits (built in debugging, package management, snippets), but mostly had quirks and drawbacks (price, keyboard shortcuts, configurations) that didn't fit with how I wanted to work. Mainly I want something fast, clean, easy to configure to do exactly what I want, and portability to move with me from system to system (some clients won't allow me to bring my own system). I've been helping to setup automation for a number of individuals and teams and have decided to publish all of the setups and configs that I've been using. I'll break this down into a couple of parts to focus on each of the steps along the way. If I get ambitious I may even automate the setup...
