Any TextMate Editor equivelent for Windows?

Ruby

I am looking for a decent Ruby and RAILs editor. (JEdit
is not really working out for me on Windows)

The Zeus for Windows IDE has support for Ruby:

Zeus IDE - Programming environment for Windows developers
Note: Zeus is shareware (45 day trial)

It does code folding, class browsing and syntax highlighting
for the Ruby language.

Well I use jedit on windows and found it very handy. Its slight pain to
install the ruby plugin in it as its dependent on other a few plugins but
once its done, this thing really rocks.

How many of these editors will properly highlight:
%Q!
blah blah “” #{somevalue}
’ /’ \s’/
!#{actually a comment}

Vim is the only one I’ve found that runs on Windows that will do it. I
couldn’t make Emacs handle it, and the RDT tools for Eclipse failed
completely.
This is my expectation:

…where the editor:

  1. Correctly gives the opening and closing portions of the string (%Q!
    and !) the same color.
  2. Colors the body of the string with the usual ‘String’ color scheme.
  3. Colors interpolated values (#{somevalue} and \s) differently.
  4. Realizes that #{actually a comment} is a comment, not something to
    interpolate.

I’m imagining that TextMate handles this, from what I’ve seen… does
anything else, other than Vim?

Thanks,

Many Thanks, ArachnoRuby looks to be just the sort of IDE I was hoping
for to help me with Ruby development

At $29 seems a good proice to pay, with 24 months free updates, even if
Version 1.0 is still April 2006.
