SciTE or FreeRIDE?

Which editor do you prefer for Ruby? I also have TextPad w/ the Ruby
syntax definition file installed.

I kind of like what I see of FreeRIDE so far.

Thanks again,

Chris

Hello Christopher1,

syntax definition file installed.

Maybe, the new relase of ArachnoRuby

just to clarify, you can put in whatever features you're looking for
(syntax highlighting/coloring, code folding, class browser, refactoring
tools, method signature suggestion /autocompletion, watch/breakpoints,
reg ex debugger etc.) into google search for the last year's threads,
it's probably been discussed

yeah, i can second that. i'm not sure which feature i like the most, but but the thread debugging is up there :slight_smile:

One of the nice things about Arachno is that you can run rails in the
debugger and the speed is usable. Trying to do the same in Eclipse is
too slow. I love Eclipse but it's pretty much not usable when trying
to debug in Rails.
