Subject: Re: GUI IDE for Ruby

I asked Sergey Dmitriev of JetBrains about the prospects of a Ruby IDE
a couple weeks ago. JetBrains is the company that makes IntelliJ
(hands-down the best IDE for Java).

He replied that they have considered the possibility and are watching
the success of Ruby and Rails closely to determine when it will make
sense for them commercially. Regardless, they are well under way
turning IntelliJ IDEA into a platform that supports non-Java
languages. If any of you have seen IDEA's support for JavaScript and
CSS then you know what I'm talking about.

I uninstalled the JDK months ago but I'm still using IDEA to do Ruby and Rails.
