Yeah, I did consider Xcode, I know they had some talks at WWDC 08 about ruby
and rails dev with Xcode, but again Xcode isn't exactly light weight.

Greetings,
I was looking for an editor suitable for some Ruby scripting tasks, and
TextMate immediately came to mind, as it is highly regarded by a large
number of Rails developers.
I grabbed the 30 day trial off the TextMate website to take it for a
test drive.
For the most part the app seems pretty accessible, except for one very
critical component, the edit control.
I see from a quick Google search that someone already raised a bug about
this back in March 2007, however it still appears to be broken.
Unfortunately the bug report didn't indicate who might have submitted
it, or have any follow up from the software developers.
I thought I would throw a quick email out on the list to see if that
person might have had any follow-up correspondence from the TextMate
developers, and any indication if this particular bug might ever get
fixed.
Also if anyone else has any suggestions for a Ruby editor that would
very much be appreciated.
I use Eclipse 3.4 for Java dev, but I don't really want to bloat my
Eclipse installation any more than absolutely necessary with the Aptana
and radrails plugins, so am looking for something a little more
minimalist.
Cheers,
Mitch
