Most "serious" ruby programmers that I know do not use a win32
environment. Mac or Linux seems to rule the Ruby world. While there is
alot there to play with for windows people, *nix-like OSes will always
rule when developing in languages like Ruby, Python, and Perl due to
the ease of access to compilers and libraries like mysql, libxml, etc.

In some respects, an IDE and file explorer/finder is a serious step
backward in productivity. I'd rather have 3 terminals open tailing my
log files, running tests, and one extra one to manage things than to
have to deal with an IDE that may or may not provide a nice interface
to these things.

Scite is not a bad way to get started with ruby though. It was my
first ruby editor.

Jason
