FYI, Curt Hibbs was originally an Eclipse enthusiast... well, I guess he still is. What I mean is that the RIDE project was originally to be based on Eclipse. But that was abandoned and Curt's ideas were merged with Rich Kilmer's (and some others') to form the FreeRIDE project. Most recently, Nishio Mizuho's class browser has been added to FR. I'm not opposed to other projects at all. But I do think they need to be aware of each other, just as e.g. rubynet and rpkg need to know about each other, or rdoc and rd. I.e., for possible joining, cancellation, synergy, complementarity, stealing ideas, whatever. For me, my money is on FreeRIDE. I like the ideas that the team has and the overall philosophy. And I like the furious rapidity with which Rich codes. Say that three times fast. Boy, I'm tired. And hungry. Hal
