Subject: Re: Ruby and IDE

Kent, what I meant to say was:
"We don't have a syntactic-based editor for Ruby yet. I think anyone
who's used one for Java will tell you they definitely *need* it for
*Java* development. Perhaps some people will feel the same way if we
have such an editor for Ruby ..."

Anyway, a diversity of approaches to Ruby editors like we have now can
only be a good thing for Ruby.
