I'm not a Visual Studio user, preferring (at least for Ruby development)
to use gvim on WinXP, but regardless of platform one should give serious
thought to the choice of Ruby editor.
That you are using Scite may be more a coincidence of packaging than
anything else. You may prefer Scite to the other choices, but if you
haven't spent a little time trying out alternatives than you may be
doing yourself a disservice.
There have been past threads here on ruby-talk about editor choice, so
you may want to search the archives to get some ideas.
