I don't agree with some of the things Oracle has done as of late, but that seems quite reasonable to me. If usage levels are quite low, then it is a waste of time to keep devoting resources to it.

Anecdotally, I don't know of a single RoR developer who uses Netbeans. Vim, Textmate and Emacs seem to be the editors of choice.

I would never have used Netbeans at all except for the fact that it had a decent Swing editor and JRuby support.

That being said, emacs is my day-to-day environment, Netbeans was never more than an occasional side tool.

Our office uses Netbeans for Ruby on Rails. It has worked quite well up until now.
