Are there any good SciTE alternatives that are mainly for Ruby editing
and compiling? I don't mean FreeRIDE, as I can't stand that program
(so many warnings and errors when you run it, it's unbelievable).

Can you guys give me any alternatives? (a link to a list or a direct
link is fine)

This may be the same problem fxri has. fxri does work though, so if you
say errors with freeride it may be something diferent.

I'm using jEdit as editor when I need to look at large classes. Normally
I'm using SciTE.

jedit is available at http://www.jedit.org/

You may want to read these instructions for how to install the ruby
plugin http://rubyjedit.org/download/

And btw, ruby programs are not compiled.

Heh, I know... I usually use SciTE, but it hates me, now. It freezes
when I use gets() for anything...

I'll check jEdit out... Is it free?

The free version of Komodo Edit may be of interest:
http://www.activestate.com/products/komodo_edit/
It's derived from Mozilla code I believe.

I'm not a GUI fan, and I still use my Unix editor (joe), but this is almost
good enough to make me change. It's fast to load, and easy to navigate.

There is also a version with IDE, which is expensive but has a free trial.
(But with Ruby, I'm happy using an editor to edit, and a shell to run)

Regards,

Brian.

Am I missing something?
I have used FreeRide many times with no errors (unless my code has bugs).
Is there a problem with new versions?

Mondrian [http://www.mondrian-ide.com/] looks pretty good. I don't
know why it's not more popular.

Netbeans if providing a very nice IDE for Ruby development. Take a look
at this thread:

http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/101616#new

There you can find a comparison between this IDE and Eclipse's.

Regards,

Nando

What platform? You may be able to get SciTE working properly again, and
not have to worry about a new editor.

Is it a live project? I looked at both Mondrian and FreeRide a while
back. They looked similar, but FreeRide looked more active, and it was
in Gentoo's Portage tree.

I have the paid-up version of Komodo and I just love it! If you're doing
multi-language development (Perl, Python, PHP, Tcl, Ruby are the main
ones) it's very well integrated. If you're doing either Perl or Tcl
development on Windows, it's probably the best thing out there. There
are some good alternatives on open source platforms, but on Windows,
Komodo is worth what they charge for it.

BTW, I have the Linux version.
