Subject: A trivial formatting question.

Hi all from a 30-year veteran, but rather a Ruby noob,

I've been looking around for a Ruby IDE, and came across the soon to  
be released RubyMine.  It looks to be a promising program, with a very  
nice code reformatter.

One thing irks me:  It doesn't indent the clauses of a case statement,  
but prints the 'when's flush with the 'case' and 'end' keywords.  This  
complicates discerning the scope of the statement quickly.  I went  
back to 'Programming Ruby' and found the same formatting, which I find  
somewhat barbaric.

My question is, how many of you indent when clauses?  Does it matter  
to you at all?  Is there a package that prettifies Ruby  code, even if  
not in an editor,  and is configurable?

Thanks,

Bob Schaaf
