> Vagrant is the execution environment that you set up, share and whatnots. Your dev environment (IDE, text editor, etc) can still be in the original environment you are familiar with.

Sorry if i have missed this but how do you execute/debug in the IDE through Vagrant? e.g. how would rubymine use vagrant's ruby binary?

I'm not sure about Rubymine since I'm more of a Python/Golang guy (also I use SublimeText). In Python, there is an IDE called PyCharm that has a remote intepreter function. I expect all good IDEs to have something like that too: remote intepreter/libraries/etc

EDIT: A quick Google yielded this: http://www.jetbrains.com/ruby/webhelp/configuring-remote-int...

Yup, this works with Rubymine and Vagrant. Set this up today for myself. Took a bit of fiddling to get it to work, Ruby 2.0 seems a bit flaky to debug, 1.9.3 works well.

In the case of any debugging in your IDE, you'd want to use remote debugging (which, I believe, rubymine supports). Otherwise, I'd connect to the virtual machine via ssh and debug there.
