Jason, I started off using Mondrian ( http://www.mondrian-ide.com/ ) and at first really liked the structure if gave me. I came from Visual Studio .Net so I was very used to the 'Heavy IDE' format.
The problem is I started to have growing pains with with it. I noticed that it was slowing down my work, forcing artificial constraints on me and, on very rare occasion crashing (unacceptable for an IDE in my opinion). I switched to a very organized file structure, and scite. I run the program using a batch file so i get the standard console window. The batch file also includes a 'pause' command so that at the end of the program it doesn't close the console. I miss multi file find, search and replace - but i can just find a better editor for that. I personally enjoy the freedom of no overhead, just me and 1 million scite windows open. my 2c _______________________________________________ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
