I should thank Paul A. for introducing me to RadRails, thanks Paul! Eclipse is a pig– there’s a standalone version on RadRails based on the Eclipse platform which feels lighter.

It's more bloated than Visual Studio! Seriously, part of the mantra (if you will) of Ruby is being so much more lightweight than Java. I like the fact that I can write a simple ruby script with Notepad2 or SciTE and save & run... run a lightweight web server and view my changes. It feels so very Anti-Visual Studio and that is attractive to me. I haven't done any real Ruby development though, so I'm still on the fence as to which editor I like best.
