I think I agree with you. SuperAbbrev seems like what I’m looking for,
plus jedit has a lighter footprint than komodo or radrails.

Yes… I do as well… The more I play with jEdit, the more I like…
If that Mac Mini didn’t have those great WoW specs and the evil
TextMate… It just looks soooo slick in those movies… I console
myself that jEdit is free for the Mac too… So that just brings us
back to more WoW for the buck… :: ponders ::

ohh guys… you really don’t know how much I miss my Delphi IDE…

To get close to what DHH is doing there I recomend Ultra Edit. It has
autocomplete and macros so feature wise it’s the closest to TextMate.

I think Jedit with Rubyjedit plugin and SuperAbbrev plugin is closest to
TextMate. You don’t even have to add Rails specific abbrevs - they are
already there.

i finally took the jEdit challenge as well. i was previously using
radrails which i found a bit buggy and huge. with the aforementioned
plugins i am absolutely loving jEdit so far. i’ll give it a good week or
so of use as my primary editor and see how it stacks up, but so far it
looks like a keeper!

thanks for the recommendation.

i don’t mean to hijack this thread but if someone could give me some
advice as to how to best use the jEdit SuperAbbrev plugin i’d be
extremely grateful, whether it be on this list or via emal
arudgick[at]gmail.

thanks again!

i know i’m breaking the most sacred rule in all of internetland and
triple back to back posting but i found an excellent resource in my
jEdit journey that i just had to share.

behold the ruby abbreviations in all of their glory

just chiming in to agree with you Brian - on all points - it sucks for
ror
(and that’s coming from a quite frequent user of it for php, where it is
actually pretty good (subversion/project management not withstanding -
really
silly oversights))

it is fast under 'nix as opposed to wndows, for whatever (!) reason

had some issues with radrails so i’m now using jEdit, nice, fast &
works!
