See article below. Another thing related to Macs that I've been reading about lately: The primary author of Ruby on Rails, David Heinemeier Hansson, is a Mac user and his pal and fellow Dane, Allan Odgaard, is the author of TextMate, an editor for the Mac.

I have played with TextMate a couple of times, but I don't really understand all of the excitement. I suspect that's because I'm just too much of an emacs guy, and my needs are pretty simple.

The RoR developers are nuts about it. I have the impression that most of them hadn't used emacs before and were working on Windows (as was Hansson - he is very young) before moving to Mac.


We are starting up our RoR dev project now and are planning to use Linux. The new programmer starts today and we are planning to buy an Ubuntu machine from Dell. I'll let you know how that works out. We will try using emacs with all ruby mode, etc., add ons. I'll tell you how it compares with TextMate on the Mac - the other half of our dev team (at http://cbri.umn.edu/ ) is using TextMate on the Mac. I have the impression that most RoR developers using TextMate are totally in love with it.

Mike
