Subject: Re: Ruby Editor for Gnome

vim does work well for Ruby as does Emacs/XEmacs (my fave). OTOH, if you 
like Kate, there's really no reason you can't run KDE apps under GNOME. 
I would personally recommend choosing either Emacs or Vim and sticking 
with it, as neither is tied to any one desktop or OS.
