Notepad2 with Ruby
I modified Notepad 2 version 1.0.12 to provide better support for editing Ruby and makefiles. I also included shell context menu integration to provide one click access to Notepad2 for opening any file.
The exe was compiled with VS 2005 beta 2, but that shouldn’t introduce any problems.
Ruby integration is on par with SciTe, which had previously been the preferred editor for Ruby. This, unfortunately, also means that regular expressions do not receive special highlighting.
I don’t want to maintain these files forever (perhaps a year) and am looking for a mirror.
put 'em on rubyforge.org ;)

I'd be happy to mirror. I've got nearly 200 GB of bandwidth per month that I don't use.
Shoot me an email with any special instructions if you're interested.

This is great! What are the chances that Notepad2 will provide syntax highlighting for ruby's rhtml files. This would be great for the rails developer.

I use Notepad++ as my ruby editor and Notepad replacement. It's small, fast and easy to use. Different from Notepad2, its multi document interface and its folding feature save me a lot of time.

Why don't you guys use Notepad++?

Notepad++ supports Ruby as native language. That's the best editor I have ever used.
