I’ve surrender to use Ruby IDE (they all are too alpha, no matter wich  
version it is).

Ruby Console debugger is good ennought. But there is one thing i can’t  
live without - clickable stacktrace.

I’m using Kate/GEdit/KDevelop and running program in Linux Console. But  
there is one problem - there is no clickable stacktrace!  
Is there any way to do this - click on console error stacktrace and go  
to File and Line in Editor?

P.S.  
I’m considering to switch to Apple, but it seems that TextMate also  
doesn’t has this feature (clickable stacktrace) or it does has?

autotest.el on emacs has clickable backtraces. It is fairly trivial to  
do for regular shell/comint as well (steal it from autotest.el since  
that is really what it is doing).
