Subject: Re: Ruby editor for linux

For quick scripts I'm fond of SciTE.  It's slick, no nonsense coding goodness.

Some pros & cons

Pros:
lightweight (both cpu and memory)
color syntax highlighting
code folding
multiple files open as tabs
run & debug ruby (and other languages)
runs pretty much identically in Linux, *BSD, OSX, Windows

Cons:
limited to 10 open tabs
<whine>printing is sometimes flaky</whine>
<whine>occasional crashes (about once every few months)</whine>
<whine>line numbers not on by default</whine>
<whine>can run in windows....</whine>

yes, note the whine tags.  They aren't really problems for me.
