Subject: Re: ruby IDE's

Well, the question of editors is entirely different from that of IDEs. 
One can employ a good editor (I use jEdit, and it's excellent -also 
platform independent) without all the front end nonsense of an IDE. 
Admittedly, however, for some people an IDE may seem a good idea. But 
what does it really do for you? A good editor plus IDE plus a decent 
testing tool puts you in business with the lowest possible overhead. Why 
not go that direction? Simple, direct, and fast. No nonsense.
