Anyone think it would be worth it to package scite by itself [i.e. some way for mingw users to use scite if desired]? Thoughts? -r

I know folks get quite attached to their editor choices.It used to be included. It was...reasonably useful since it associated .rb files with "an editor" which was nice. Maybe we could just provide a link to something that does the same? -r

Things like: E Text Editor (Great Ruby support, Textmate bundles & snippets) Sublime Editor (Good Ruby support, Textmate snippets support, extensible with Python) TextShell (TextMate clone. Not very mature, but one to watch - doesn''t default to Cygwin like E) InType (Good Ruby support, but a bit vapourware-ish?) Notepad++ (Any good for Ruby?) Charles
