Subject: bottom line question to help me get started

I will take Walton's advice and read the "poignant guide to Ruby".  When 
I have more or less mastered Ruby's syntax, I will then look into 
designing interface.

So bottom line question is this:  To make a usable program for my 
company, should or shouldn't I use an IDE together with Ruby?  Seebs 
says IDE's are unnecessary.  I had no idea it was so.  I used to think 
that an IDE is the only or primary tool to make a GUI.  How else was I 
going to make a GUI?

By the way, GUI is graphical user interface, correct?   Like the Windows 
Calculator (Programs -> Accessories -> Calculator)  has a GUI with 
buttons 0 to 9 and all the arithmetic symbols and the Label or textbox 
above the buttons?

Are you telling me that I could develop a calculator program thru Ruby 
WITHOUT using an IDE?

Thanks again.
