Working with Ruby
Hi, I am Jan. This is my old Ruby blog. I still post about Ruby, but I now do it on idiosyncratic-ruby.com. You should also install Irbtools to improve your IRB.

You don't need a MacBook to code Ruby and Rails ;)

gedit??? Seriously? Give Emacs a whirl ...

Of course you don't :-) I'm using openSuSE (with vi and some plugins) for all my development work (will switch to Ubuntu when I get my new hardware rig, not because openSuSE doesn't work, but simply because I want to resemble the production environments a bit closer).

Emacs? Seriously? Do you have 6 fingers on each hand? :D agreed about ubuntu, but i prefer VIM, I think it's more powerfull editor.

Anything but Eclipse.

GEdit is cool for notes, To Do lists, etc. Netbeans and Eclipse are better for Rails development on Ubuntu.

You all asked for it (Uncle Bob about vim): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mslMLp5bQD0 and skip to 35:10. I could not agree more. This is a great talk, watch it all (probably, after you calm down :)
