The lack of a ruby refactoring IDE does really suck, but you learn to deal with it :) They are working on it, though - Jruby+netbeans, and Ruby in Steel [1] on Visual Studio are two that I keep hearing about. Also, some lightweight editors like TextMate do pretty well with the idiom- and code-completion stuff. I actually prefer TextMate nowadays, which is a big conversion for a prior Eclipse devotee. Less chrome is nice :) I'd switch in a second though if something could give me foolproof project-wide method/Class renaming and such. -- Chad [1] http://www.sapphiresteel.com/spip.php?page=feature-list --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
