Subject: Re: What is your favourite IDE?

Huh? That's just arbitrary nonsense!
(this may be a flame)
I dare you to define IDE under pain of slashdotting.
(why is slashdot so flamey?)
Seriously though, editors are viable as IDEs if they do the sending  
to the compiler/parser.
TextMate, like EMACS is often more of a nexus of tools, but isn't  
that what the "I" in IDE is all about?
 From that note, what constitutes debugging? Stepping through a  
program with breakpoints? Perhaps, but no. Debugging is simply  
removing the bugs by any means necessary.

irb is an unusual case only seriously matched by shell code and  
SmallTalk.
