(some restrictions apply at the moment, unfortunately, do to updates needed for the Java code, but overall it really works great) By the way… if you’re interested in running RSpec in rad-rails, check this project out on google-code:

I have been trying to evaluate how easy it will be to set up emacs-like keybindings and textmate functionality in radrails. I want to find a comfortable environment in which to develop rails projects, and if eclipse/aptana wasn't going to do it for me then I was considering purchasing textmate (I have access to linux, windows, and mac at home). However a cross-platform solution would be the best, especially the concept of learning one major ide(like) tool and not three. However tonight to my surprise aptana told me it wanted to update. I clicked ok, and after it downloaded and installed aptana studio, the install of the radrails plugin failed, saying my eclipse version is too old. This is pretty stupid. I have the newest version provided by my distribution's package manager. That means I need to uninstall, install a newer version, install aptana studio, then retry the radrails plugin installation. This kind of behaviour isn't exemplary of professional software (and I was thinking of upgrading to pro). Next time I will back up before attempting to upgrade the product. I will however give it a good go, but if there are more hitches, emacs it is :-) Thanks for the tips!

Bad autocompletion (type a begin in an existing begin end scope), random freezes, bad syntax highlighting and all together slowness. But other than that, nice work :) I’m getting more and more fed up with radrails.
