Hm.  There _are_ editors that can be scripted and extended in Ruby.  As 
someone else mentioned, FreeRIDE.  But I hear/see that vi(m) can also be 
driven by Ruby.  Diakonos is still young and fledgling, but it is almost 
fully scriptable in Ruby; that is, if you can press a key to do a 
certain function, then you can also call that function in a Ruby script.
