Subject: FreeRIDE vs Rails

Rubies:

A perfectly factored program always has methods that are only 2 or 3
lines long, each in a file with only two or three methods.

This means, with a well-factored system like Rails, you have to
rapidly navigate between various points in various files, to get
anything done. Navigation becomes one of the biggest developmental
burdens.

So how close is FreeRIDE to these features?

 - bookmark any location
 - cycle between bookmarks _between_ files
 - find-in-all-files
 - find-in-all-open-files

Note that "find in all files" does not mean the way Textmate does it.
That application simply invokes a "grep" system, then dumps its
results into a popup window. This then requires a lot of mouse or
keyboard abuse to navigate from find to find. A true "find-in-files"
should work seamlessly from the existing find system.

Has anyone started to add these features, so I can see what they did?
