Well, we will do the very first contact with Ruby using its interactive interpreter, but when we finally cross the 5 line program length border a good editor can get useful. I personally simply recommend the best editor on earth - GNU Emacs. If you want a short recommendation - Matz (Rubys author) is using Emacs. Not enough? Check the entry about Emacs packages. For more informations look at emacswiki.org and RailsWiki Emacs page. [...] […] The most basic thing you will need when going thorughout this tutorial is a text editor.

I'm used to jedit's beanshell. But I like the idea of using Ruby to script emacs using http://www.rubyist.net/~rubikitch/computer/el4r/index.en.html but I never tried it. Any ideas on that?

For scripting a text editor, with all the functions Emacs provides, its perfectly fine I think. I didn't use beanshell (through I liked JEdit before I switched to Emacs), but for example the way vim is scripted is much more painful and its harder to write/debug extensions. I've seen el4r, but I don't think its that attractive. Elisp isn’t that bad… For scripting a text editor, with all the functions Emacs provides, its perfectly fine I think.

I guess I'll have to learn lisp then... =\ Yeah el4r isn't that attractive, one has to know elisp anyway.... I have my pinky almost injured after this many ctrl, I switched ctrl to caps lock but I guess the pinky efford is all the same.

Others acknowledge Emacs' power and flexibility but complain about its visual appearance. The thing is, freshly installed "vanilla" Emacs doesn't have all the bells and whistles so common in other editors, like TextMate - for example, a MacOS only editor very poplary among Ruby programmers. In order to achieve a good visual apperance you have to customize it, just like everything else in Emacs, because this editor is not actualyy an editor itself. It is, as Stiff puts it, "an editor building framework". [...] […] A lot of knowledgeable computer programmers praise Emacs.

I'm addicted to org-mode and use it to manage my todos/projects/writing/goals/journals/ideas, etc. It's fantastic. I can't recommend it enough. I'm intrigued by msf-abbrev.
