They suck. Specifically, they follow the incredibly sucktacular example of 
Eclipse, which cannot even open a file.

You essentially need to write a new program from scratch, using their 
generators. They can't just read the current folder, work the Rakefile, and 
guess that all these subdirectories might just contain your source code.

I have no idea why all three editors are so incredibly popular, but that's the 
industry for you: http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ConfigurationHell

You will get better help (and less boring dissertations on why they suck!) from 
their respective forums.

Until then, use Scite, and get in the habit of rocking to a command line, and 
hitting <up><enter> to get back to a rake test:recent...
