I mentioned that on the Komodo beta mailing list. The way they have the 
shells set up makes it difficult but not impossible to interface with 
"irb", but their developers are looking for a way to do it -- they know 
Rubyists can't live without the look and feel of irb. I'm not that sort 
of hacker, or I'd take a shot at it. What little Komodo hacking time I 
have I was planning on spending doing a lexer for the R language. :)

Emacs is closer than Vim, and Vim is gaining on Emacs, but yes, neither 
constitutes a true IDE. I think I could make a case for the Linux 
desktop as an IDE, however. :)
