I'm considering writing a VS2005 add-in that will let me write Ruby code 
with syntax highlighting, and let me run an .rb file with output going 
to a console window.

I haven't had enough time with VS2005 to find out how feasible this is 
going to be.  In VS2003 it would have been a major pain.  I'm hoping 
they've made the text editor more reusable and that there's some way to 
override, say, the class view, but I'm not holding my breath.

What I really want is a way to embed just the text-editor window from VS 
into my own app, because the text editing stuff is very good, but I 
don't really want the rest of Visual Studio.  So far I can't figure out 
how to do that.  (I've tried the Scite .Net control but it was buggy and 
I never got it to work correctly.)

If there's actually anyone else who would be interested in using such an 
add-in for VS2005, let me know so that I can let you know if/when I get 
it finished.
