There are always these two:

www.vim.org
www.gnu.org/software/emacs/

I prefer vim more because I'm more familiar with it, but both editors
work well. To make this more ruby related this is somewhat interesting:

If you are on Mac OSX, try subethaedit.

It's not an editor it's an IDE but I find eclipse with the RDT (ruby
development tools), subclipse and darcs plugins a great development
environment (especially under Fedora Core 4 where it is compiled
natively). Another bonus is eclipse works on pretty much all OS so
you can use it at home, at work, everywhere.

Dan,

While everyone has their favorites, I'd like to recommend some of mine.
If you're using Windows, I'd recommend:

* SciTE - http://www.scintilla.org/... - included if you grab
the Ruby one click installer)
* jEdit - http://www....
* Dreamweaver 8 with RubyWeaver -
http://www.ridingtheclutch.com/entry... (commercial of course)

On Linux, I find it hard to beat Quanta. It comes with KDE, under the
kdewebdev package.

I hope this helps!

There are millions of threads about this topic, but ok, here's a short,
incomplete list (assuming you want to code Ruby):

- Emacs[1] or XEmacs[2] or SXEmacs[3]
- Vim[4]
- Kate[5]
- Eclipse[6] with RDT[7]
- Scite[8]
- Freeride[9]
- ...
- Paper & Pencil[10]

Which one you choose depends on your platform and your personal
preference.

Regards,
Tassilo
