So what about the Ruby development tool plugin for eclipse? Has anybody used it? I really like eclipse, and some of the other language tools I've used for it. Any reviews? http://sourceforge.net/projects/rubyeclipse

Refactoring? Yeah, I do miss the code completion I had in Eclipse. :-( I'm using vi for my RoR work, at first it took me forever to code but after I memorized some of the api my speed picked up. At somepoint I'll investigate Ruby IDE's but for now I'm pretty happy being back in 1996. It's simple, lightweight and my vi skills are improving greatly. What you are saying is what Cedric pointed out to be "Why Ruby on Rails won't become mainstream" -- "Still no credible IDE." http://beust.com/weblog/archives/000382.html I bet a good IDE will come along at somepoint...
