[Wtr-general] [War-general] Ruby IDE

I use Eclipse with the RDT Ruby plugin: http://rubyeclipse.sourceforge.net/
I use Eclipse for other languages, have a lot of plugins which make my life
simpler and of course it's all free. :) The RDT plugin has support for
integrated debugging, code completion, code formatting, syntax coloring,
Test::Unit integration, runs IRB as an external tool and all the usual
things that come with a decent ide plus with the Subclipse plugin, I get
subversion integration.
