Which led me to ownder: > what editors/IDEs do most ruby users use? I've been using gvim for the past two months. It's been an interesting experiment. I used to hate vi, but was somewhat forced into this due to some very restrictive network access. This turned into a quest to answer the question "Would I be more productive if I moved the mouse away and focused on doing everything from the keyboard?" For me the answer, after some learning curve, has been yes. I think the target audience for vi and clones like gvim is people that want to keep their hands on the keyboard in order to increase their productivity. -- R.
