No, that's just what it takes for me to move away from vi. I spend
more time in an xterm than anywhere else and I'm not running a fancy
GUI on top of my unix (Mac OS). Emacs however, you can play tetris
instead of doing any coding. What more could you ask for in an IDE?

I'll give you I don't see the need for a re-factoring tool in Ruby
yet. However I use the one build into Netbeans all the time when I do
Java stuff. I need to change the name of a method or class? Oh wow,
let me fix all reference of that for you right now. As it stands
though, grep does a good job of picking them out of my directory.

I will check it out when it comes, the real question - will auto rdoc
my code and load that up like it does for Java? (Eclipse does do that
for Java, doesn't it? Or maybe it one of the other IDEs... not
something I often use.)
