As per my last post I am loving Ruby on Rails. The biggest drawback to the framwork is my quest to find the right editor. I have actually been using Dreamweaver when I write code on Windows. It makes me feel like a lesser programmer for some reason, but it works great. There is a plugin called RubyWeaver that makes it easy. Add into that the Subversion utility for Dreamweaver that lets you cloak/uncloak SCM Directories and you have a decent editor. (Without that last extension Dreamweaver will try to upload all the hidden Subversion directories and make a mess of you server).
On Linux I have been using RadRails. It is ok most of the time. However, every now and then it drives me nuts. Today is such a day. When I copy and paste I get randon 'invalid argument' errors. I can live with that but the latest is insane. As I type, Radrails is outputing everything in reverse. No kidding. Here is some output:

Hi, I have debated looking into emacs. My buddy here at COSL has been using GVIM and almost has me converted. It has some pretty neat RoR helps in it. I did some rebuild work on my linux box and now RadRails is behaving. I have used vi in the past, but it might be time to look into emacs. Thanks for the link.
