I apologize for the cross-post, but I thought it would spur a good
discussion on both lists.
I'm looking for a good editor for doing ruby / rails development.
Here's my requirements:
* Cross platform. I spend days on XP and nights on Suse, with occassional OS X
* Multiple Document Interface. SciTe's single doc interface just won't do
* Debugging = not needed. Just a good editor
* FreeRIDE = no go. Doesn't respect my mouse speed
* Emacs = no go. I'm a vi guy, but not for this situation
* Teh snappy. Startup time doesn't matter, text editing does
What I'd really like is something like the windows-only TextPad
application for linux.
I've been leaning towards Eclipse, but haven't tried it out yet -- any
ruby / rails plugins for it?

On Linux, I can strongly recommend Kate or KDevelop. Maybe someday (with QT4) they will be available on Windows, too.

Personally, I had no good experience with Eclipse.
I been using jedit for several years now because it is a very
powerful (plugins galore) point-n-click editor and is
cross-platform (wherever a java is available).

If you're checking out jEdit, don't miss it's Ruby Editor Plugin which
supports method completion for Ruby core types, has an integrated RDoc
viewer and an auto-indent and insert 'end' feature:
* Cross platform.
Yes, jEdit runs on the JVM, hence works in GNU Linux, Mac OSX, Windoze
* Multiple Document Interface
Able to put in screen splits both horizontally and vertically, as many
times as needed.
* Debugging = not needed. Just a good editor
No debugging in the plugin yet, but editing is good.
* snappy.
Performs well on recent cpu machines.
The plugin is actively developed and supported by yours truely; if you
have any feedback send me a mail.

That's what I use. With vim's ability to split windows horizontally and
vertically (and open different buffers in each) and keyword completion,
along with the nice minibuffer explorer plugin on
vim.sourceforge.net<http://vim.sourceforge.net>,
it's about as close to the perfect IDE that a vi user could ask for.

I have been using jEdit (http://www.jedit.org) too for all my projects
under Java, PHP, C/C++ and now Ruby and I feel very comfortable with
it, but Eclipse and it's Ruby Development Tools seems to be cool and
multiplatform, although RDT plugin looks very young yet.
If you want to give a try to Eclipse, there is a quick setup tutorial
at (and download a 100MB zip file O:-) ):

Also, I know that Lothar is working on multiple platform support in
Arachno ... currently supports windows & linux ... The site says OS X
support is planned.
I use it under Windows and it's a nice editting environment, lots of
little ruby extras.

"NEdit was originally developed on a Unix system and is available on all major
Unix and Linux systems. But NEdit can also run on other platforms, if there
is a working X Window environment available. For instance, NEdit runs on
MacOS X, OS/2 and MS Windows. The platforms and toolkit pages contain more
details."
I'd almost guarantee it does Ruby syntax highlighting, but if it doesn't, it
has a macro language to let you add that and almost any other feature that
you might think of. (But, not to mislead anyone, it does have a lot of
features built in. It always seems fast (seems likely since it's written in
C) and I edit 1.5 MB files frequently every day.
(It does have a few quirks, some of them related to the Motif/Lesstif GUI it
uses.)

And, Off Point for this post, I guess if I was going to ask for a snappy
whatever, I'd say something about the environment, like snappy on a system
running a 233 MHz Pentium, 256 MB of RAM, running a mix of processes
typically including 5 open edit windows, 10 browser windows, ...
(I guess I'm getting carried away, but I'm sure a lot of developers on their 3
GHz, 1 GB systems think their app is snappy, but then I run it and ;-( (My
system is 500 MHZ with 384 MB of RAM, and a typical mixture of open windows
quite a bit larger than mentioned above--4 open browser with 10-15 tabs each
is not unusual, plus 6-7 konsole "tabs", 3-6 nedit windows, kmail, ...)

You are absolutely right that that is one of the problems with crossposting.
The typical ways I consider dealing with it include posting my replies to
both (all) lists, but just as crossposting is considered offensive by many,
crossposting replies may be just as or even more offensive.
Do you have any alternate solutions (presuming there was a valid reason for
the crossposting in the first place, which I feel there sometimes is)?

Randy Kramer

Maybe OT, but one possible issue with such cross-posting is that not
everyone is subscribed to both lists , so replies are not seen by everyone.
