After a nearly two year hiatus, it seems that Sakazuki has returned to work on RDE. For those that don't know, RDE is "Ruby Developement Environment", a Delphi based IDE for Windows.
I used to use RDE back in my early days of Ruby because, well, there wasn't much else at the time for Windows. It was slick, but it had problems. It had a bad tendency to leave temp files everywhere, and it would occasionally crash with ye ol' access violation.
It seems it's back, though, and with a couple new releases in as many days. It still has some of the same issues it had before, however, and now the toplevel menu items look kinda goofy. It also now seems to have issues with spaces in path names, which I don't remember being an issue before. Well, I posted a solution for that to the project page at least (GetShortPathName).
While I'm mainly an Eclipse user these days, it's always good to see a little competition out there. Plus, I would probably use RDE for running quick sample programs. :)
