What is your favorite editor or IDE for programming in Ruby?
This trio seems popular:
http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html
http://www.vim.org/
http://freeride.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?HomePage
I just came across these recently:
http://www.anyedit.org/ (can you add ruby code-completion? 
http://www.crimsoneditor.com/
Any other free ones worth trying out? One that supports both C/C++ and Ruby would be nice
I personally use Emacs in the console and sometimes in
X. There is a ruby-mode.el in the ruby-stable
snapshot. I think it is written by matz. I am curious
of Matz uses emacs or just wrote the script for fun.
Emacs syntax highlighting is great. Learning emacs is
a big learning curve, but worth it. It lets you have
uber speed at all the keybinds. There is an IDE for
Emacs that works in the console and in GUI form called
"ECB"
The Emacs Code Browser. It is fairly decent.
There is also great vim support, vim has a IDE
enviroment just like emacs, it is called, "taglist".
These are the two main ones I consider good for coding
in. ECB does not have support for Ruby though. You can
add it in if you have a little extra time to read
semantics document on lexing in Ruby. --David

I've been using the Ruby plugin for eclipse

along nicely

Quanta Plus and Kate both use the same KDE editing tools, I believe, and they both have some ruby highlighting.
I've been programming rails lately, so quanta plus has been fantastic.
Don't forget the Arachno IDE:
http://www.scriptolutions.com/arachno_ruby.php
Also bbedit:
http://www.barebones.com/index.shtml
and jedit:
http://www.jedit.org/
looks like you already mentioned vim.... tied with bbedit for my favorite editor, not so much IDEs though.

I'll second this. Quanta Plus (part of KDE) is a wonderful HTML
editor. I use it exclusively to hand-code the RMagick documentation.
It's very easy to customize. I've got toolbar buttons that run Ruby
scripts to inject common HTML snippets into the file.

Don't forget about mentioning kdevelop. It has all the
GUI easy click tools from cvs to subversion, debug
output, file views, project template support, etc.
Kdevelop is the best free IDE KDE has. It has been
really supportive in the past, mainly because they use
it to write the KDE code in. As well as the
freebsd-kde hackers 
- 15 supported languages including Ada, C, C++,
Objective-C (via C support), SQL, Fortran, Haskell,
Java, PHP, Pascal, Perl, Python, Ruby, Bash, XUL
(unofficially).
- Automatic code completion and code hinting for class
variables, methods, function arguments and more.
- Source formatting, syntax highlighting and code
folding.
It is a decent IDE, and I used to use it once and a
while to try out what it had. Emacs fan though I am

countless apps. I thought you used emacs. --David

Hello David,
Kdevelop is the best free IDE KDE has.
Is there a second KDE IDE ?
- Automatic code completion and code hinting for class
variables, methods, function arguments and more.
There is support for Ruby ?
If nothing happened lately ruby users only get a not very
sophisticated syntax highlighting (and of course all the
language independent features).

Yay! Finally a conclusion for the eternal "which is better, vi or
Emacs" debate. *grin*
But more seriously, it's really great to have the author of a language
use the same editor I use when I'm developing in the language.
Matz: is your .emacs file available somewhere online? I imagine if
there are any tweaks to ruby-mode, or to using Emacs and Ruby together
you probably have them installed. I'd be curious to see if I'm missing
anything.

Toolbar macros? that's nifty.
One note to anyone trying it out... I had some stability issues with suse 9.1's version, but when I compiled it by hand, it seems to be working much better.
So it must not be really good otherwise you still would have used it

TROLL points! oh man. You screwed the pooch by even
replying to that email. You want to know why? Because
kdevelop has had really good syntax highlighting for
ruby for a while.
You Lothar_troll are the biggest troller I have ever
seen, I really don't see why anyone even reads these
emails of yours. You only try to down others projects.
TROLL point count: 2
Now, the best thing for you to ever do is not even
talk about other people projects. I doubt you are a
professional coder, or ever will be. You seem to
always talk bad about everything. Thanks for screwing
the pooch big time.
Take your trollish commercial sheepfucker ass
somewhere else and stop being an asshole.

It looks like Quanta Plus costs money. Is this true?

I wanted to be a full blooded emacs user. I don't
like switching applications many times in 1 session, I
would rather keep it all in emacs.

I thought that ruby-talk was one of the few places where I could avoid
this junk. I mean seriously, it hurts my virtual ears. The poster
unwittingly did a lot more to reduce his own reputation than to trash
someone else's.

2) How to interface Kedit into WideStudio

-------------------------------------------------
Note: kdevelop uses kate. You are supposed to be able
to select any editor you want, but I use kate.
- Run kdevelop, wait for it to finish opening
- Click settings, configure editor
- On the left, there is a bar menu. select
highlighting
- click download
- scroll down. Make sure you have the latest version
of ruby syntax highlighting. If not, click ruby then
click install.
- close and reopen kdevelop
- click settings, then configure editor again
- click schema on the left.
- click highlight text styles
- click the dropdown box, select Scripts/ruby
- Now you can change the highlighting colors
By default most of dark, bold, or black. I perfer a
colorful IDE. Again, I use emacs, but I have to know
how to work most popular interface.

----------------------------------------------------
Ok this is fun, we have WSBuilder, and any text editor
will do. (even vi) I will talk how to have a nice text
editor for WideStudio.
Note: I tried using Kdevelop for the editor, but it
would open a new instance of the IDE. If someone knows
how to call a file in an existing running application
please tell.
- Open wsbuilder
- click Option(O)
- click Enviroment(E)
- click Enviroments tab
- change the 'source editor' value to 'kate'
- click ok
now you can double click the procedures you created in
'Procedures' tab to attach code.
Kate can open multiple files in 1 window. Use the
Arrow buttons at the top to switch to each file when
opening multiple files.

Hello David,
You should learn to read. This may help
I talked about sophisticated syntax highlighting. So whats about
detecting the different ways to quote strings or regexprs, escaping
from strings back to ruby, or the correct handling of "here docs" ?
Last time i looked at kdevelop the syntax highlighter was no as good as
VIM oder emacs, it was more compareable to the Scintilla one.
And i said that that some of your mentioned features was irrelevant
for persons who are looking for ruby editors because they are not
available for ruby.
So what the hell is your problem ?
