I agree. The copy/paste is so messed up in RDT it's dangerous (it
sometimes copies _extra_ text), and you're right about the formatting,
along with a few other weird things that happen from time to time. I
do everything in gvim now, and use Eclipse mostly for project
management or just _viewing_ Ruby files.

I'd suggest that the Sun/JRuby folks take over RDT, but I think
they're committed to Netbeans.
