Subject: Re: Good editor for Windows Ruby

I've tried all the windows editors and IDEs (both ruby oriented and
multi-purpose like UltraEdit).  Arachno Ruby ( http://www.ruby-ide.com/ )
was my favorite until support for it disappeared.  So I went looking for
another one and found Turbo Ruby ( http://www.embarcadero.com/turboruby ).
It's based on the Eclipse environment / editor.  Except for the slighly
annoying project management and help system it's an excellent editor / IDE /
debugger.  Sure you need to pay $49~ CND for it but I don't think that's a
lot considering the stuff it does for you.
