well, i've done a some VB work in the past and so truly appretiate a
good IDE, not to mention RAD. but thank god those days are over! VB? no
thanks! but for my ruby work, running on linux, i don't know of any good
options. are there? currently i use scite, though sometimes i use vim.
i'm not to big on vim's modes, and having come from the dos/windows
world (after amiga passed away), i have really come to like ctrl-z thru
ctrl-v, and a few other, shortcuts. but if vim were to become a corner
stone of a good ruby ide, i'd make the full switch.

freeride is a ruby ide i'm keeping my eye on and i beleive the intention
there is to use scite.

also i wonder if anyone is interested in making a wrapper for ddd. i
just discovered ddd recently and it looks to be a very cool debugger.
