I can understand that to some degree, but it's hard to be sympathetic to the idea that maybe we don't just need to learn JS properly.

A relatively short period of using the TextMate bundle meant I never forgot what went where again (cause it has nice little notifications for warnings or errors on save). I'm sure there are similar plugins etc for other editors and IDEs. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby or Rails Oceania" group.
