Hi all. I've thought quite a long time bout this, and I hope this is a
good way to proceed. Please let us any any present flame wars about
religion on this list and simply let them go and keep taking about ruby.

Thanks heaps. If we're going to press reply, I'd recommend we think
about our reply and how it helps the people on the list, and
especially if it's on-topic.

But if we ignore religious discussions how will be able to debate ruby
vs python, K&R vs ANSI?
OO vs functional?

maybe he had in mind that it is not appropriate for this mailing list and
for such high philosophic problems another mailing list should be created

Those of us who have reached nirvana[1] look upon your conflict with
tolerance and hope. ;)

Suggest you don't bother. I've looked at a great many editors, and tried
many of them. None have bested jEdit

http://en.wikipedia.org/...

http://www....

It's flexibility, ease of use, vast world of adaptive plugins simply
beats out the competition.

I do all my ruby editing in it, runnng ruby scripts in the console tab,
if desired.

Currently I have have 4 separate jEdit windows open, each with a
different cluster of files visible (although all are accessible from
each instance). When I want to, I can edit, and even play, my Lilypond
music score scripts in jEdit (really, really cool). I would jump to
another editor in a flash if I ever saw one better, but it simply hasn't
happened.

jEdit is a java program, and runs anywhere. I'm running mine on Kubuntu
Linux 8.10

Enjoy...

Tom
