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.

I’m editor-agnostic. Well, technically, I guess I’m more of an
editor-taoist. Editaoist? Anyway, the upshot is that I can see how
your
religious interpretation is a valid perspective on reality, even if it
is
kind of limited.
After all, emacs is a halfway decent OS. Some people claim it lacks a
decent editor, but I disagree – Viper is an excellent editor.
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…

Written in Java, so it runs on Mac OS X, OS/2, Unix, VMS and
Windows.
That’s a nonstarter for me. It requires a JVM to be installed anywhere
I
use it, and sometimes that’s just not reasonable – i.e., installing and
maintaining a Java runtime on FreeBSD is a severe pain in the tuckus.
