Uh oh. A religious question...

Well, I use emacs, but I'm sure others have different ideas.

One of the things that I like about emacs is the ability to execute
code straight out of the editor window. For example, I'm typing this
mail in emacs now. I can type some Ruby code

   a = "cat"		# => "cat"
   b = "pult"		# => "pult"
   a + "a" + b		# => "catapult"

then highlight it, hit Alt-F10, and the comments showing the values
are automatically inserted.

Regards
