After trying various other editors for Ruby on Rails I have settled with Ruby In Steel Text Edtion. The reason that I have gone with the Text Edition is that priced at the more affortable US $49 but still has the features I need at this point.
When it comes down to it Ruby in Steel is a plugin for Visual Studio 2008. So it seems a bit strange to back with Visual Studio 2008 which is the tool I use nearly every day for Visual Basic.NET development. Of course that is somewhat of an advantage in knowing the keyboard shortcuts and other features.
One thing I really like about Ruby In Steel is that is very well documented so you feel as though you are getting something of substance for the cost of the licence.
The other handy consideration for me is that while you are in Visual Studio you can do all of your HTML editing with very good CSS support. I must admit this is an area where Microsoft has made a big investment and provided many improvements. The split view between source HTML and visual representation provides “the best of both worlds”.
I will keep watchin the progress on Intype and E Text Editor as they are both good products that have the potential to be great in my view. Intype particularly is making very slow progress and I have a look every couple of months to see if anything has changed (much the same as my own progress with Ruby on Rails).
