It's a little simple for my tastes. I've cleaned up my nedit stuff on 
RAA (http://raa.ruby-lang.org/list.rhtml?name=ruby_nedit) so that it can 
be imported. It's at:

http://redshift.sourceforge.net/nedit/ruby-nedit.pats

Briefly, there's more hiliting, there are some shell cmds for running 
ruby, ri, rd2, and there are some macros for working with rd2 markup.

(The link to there from RAA is broken, but RAA.frozen? now, so I can't 
fix it.)

The major item on my ruby-nedit wishlist, by the way, is a version of 
Fill Paragraph that works well with commented blocks, like:

   # Some comments
   # about method foo
   def foo(arg)
   end

I'll do it someday ...
