The short version

Womp is free; RubyMine starts at $24/mo.
Only RubyMine lists rails-aware coding assistance; only Womp lists implicit surface modelling.
Where RubyMine falls short: no permanently free tier for commercial use; requires an ongoing subscription.
Where Womp falls short: nothing is dimensionally accurate, so a form designed here has to be remodelled in CAD before it can be manufactured.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

RubyMine

No permanently free tier for commercial use; requires an ongoing subscription
More resource-intensive than lightweight editors such as Sublime Text
Focused primarily on Ruby, so polyglot teams may prefer IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate with plugins instead
Startup time can be slower than simpler text editors on older hardware

Womp

Everything runs through the browser graphics stack, so an older laptop with integrated graphics hits frame rate and render limits fast and there is no local rendering fallback
Implicit modelling gives no control over the exported mesh, so the output topology is unsuitable for rigging, animation or subdivision work downstream
Nothing is dimensionally accurate, so a form designed here has to be remodelled in CAD before it can be manufactured
Scenes live in the vendor account, so if the service changes or closes, the only copies you hold are whatever you exported in advance
The material and lighting set is deliberately simplified, which caps art direction and makes the output visually recognisable as having come from Womp

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

RubyMine: How much does RubyMine cost?

RubyMine is sold as a JetBrains Toolbox subscription starting around $24/month for individuals and $34/month for organizations, with free licenses available for students and open-source maintainers.

Source

Womp: Do I need to know 3D to use it?

No. That is the point of the modelling approach; there is no topology, edge flow or subdivision to understand.

RubyMine: Is there a free trial?

JetBrains provides a free trial period for RubyMine so developers can evaluate it before purchasing a subscription.

Source

Womp: Can I use the meshes in Blender or a game engine?

You can export them, but the topology comes from tessellating an implicit surface, so it is not suitable for rigging, animation or subdivision without a retopology pass.

RubyMine: What platforms does RubyMine support?

RubyMine runs as a desktop application on Windows, macOS, and Linux via JetBrains Toolbox.

Source

Womp: Is it accurate enough for manufacturing?

No. It is a visual tool. Anything to be made needs remodelling in CAD.
