The eclipse architecture seems to be designed really
well, which you can expect from OTI.

I waffle back and forth between eclipse and intellij
for my java development.  intellij's editor is the
best java editor i have ever used.  But being a VAJ
fan, I must have decent class browsers.  It would be
great to have that kind of support for ruby.

I am having a hard time envisioning the
module/class/method browsers for ruby.  Does anyone
have idea what these should/could look like?  I've
always been a fan of the smalltalk browsers, but I
think class definitions being scattered across
multiple files brings up interesting challenges. 
Maybe somthing totally file based would be the way to
start out.  What do people really want in this
department?
