Hi,
Thanks for the feedback.
It's not so much rails I'm interested in, as I have WebObjects for web
applications.
I am more after something to develop pure Ruby scripts in for console use,
or potentially Ruby cocoa.
Obviously being a WebObjects developer, I am most familiar with Eclipse, but
I find Eclipse to be rather slow and bloated at the best of times, let alone
if I install Aptana and Radrails in it, just to get some Ruby support.
I might try IntelliJ and Netbeans as both have support for Ruby via Jruby,
although as both are Java apps, I'm not too sure what my success will be
like.
Will report back if any of them look like viable options.

Subject: Re: TextMate
There haven't been THAT many updates to textmate in the past year or
two. Everyone's been waiting on TextMate 2.0, but at this point it may
as well be vapourware.
As for alternative editors, sadly a lot of core Rails devs use
TextMate, so it's pretty much the de facto one on OS X. However, I'm
not sure what you find so not "lightweight" about xcode or radrails?
There's also bbedit if you're interested.
Speaking of WWDC, I have attended one of the rails sessions and the
presenter was using TextMate for demos, and not xcode. I'm not sure
you really want to use xcode for rails dev, or anything but
Cocoa/Carbon dev, it's sort of awkward.
cheers,
jane

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.
