additional textmate profits from the rails community. it's a kind of "rails religion". something like the holy rails grail. the rails community is always at the emphasizes that only rails with macos/textmate brings the joy of developing with ruby/rails. so i think comparing RadRails and Textmate is a bit boldly. ;) you could aim to get the usability and texmate bundles bundled into radrails, with some commercial only RDT features. this could work. especially the linux community would love you. :) even if they aren't willing to pay for software. >> but add the need of registration(buying) for organisations and commercial >> use and let the free version available for private use or non comercial user. > > I'm not sure if the license we have for RDT and RadRails allows this > distinction. Also, it'd be pretty hard to enforce something like this. agree. sadly most user would use it with the wrong license i think. >> whats about linking DLTK and RDT together? possible or never ever? >> i think IBM should support RDT and RadRails.
