Tim's blog provides a bit more context: At Sun, I'm in the Developer Tools group. Someone asked "Which tools does the Ruby gang use, anyhow?" I said "Hmm, TextMate, Emacs, Vi, recently some Eclipse and NetBeans." They said "How do you know?" I said "Uh." They said "Why don't you ask?" So I am. Drop by the Ruby Tool Survey and let's find out. There are only two questions; if it takes you more than fifteen seconds there's something wrong. I promise to publish all the results in full right here in this entry once I have them at the end of the month. http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2007/11/20/Ruby-IDE-Survey It's imperfect and limited, but it's not supposed to be a State of the Developer, but a temperature gauge and that's it. -austin -- Austin Ziegler * halostatue@gmail.com * http://www.halostatue.ca/ * austin@halostatue.ca * http://www.halostatue.ca/feed/ * austin@zieglers.ca
