Some extra trivia:

The bundles that Jesper mentions are actually taken from TextMate. Most Ruby on Rails hacking takes places on this text editor, which unfortunately is only developed for OS X (mac). The creator of E-Texteditor of cause asked the creator of TextMate for permission, if he could use the same bundles (which by the way is open source).

The development of E-Texteditor is very fast. As far as I know bugs are dealt with rapidly and new patches released sometimes over night – which is why this new text editor has such a big following.

The main reason why E-Texteditor was created, was actually not to create a text editor, but to create a version control system for documents. It just evolved into a text editor by chance. So E-Texteditor now actually has build in revision control!

One thing that has bugged me was that in order to get my Ruby/Rails environment to work properly with Cygwin/E, i had to manually edit the system path:

Excerpt of path not working:
c:\cygwin\bin;c:\ruby\bin;

c:\ruby\bin;c:\cygwin\bin;

Personally, I use PSPad when I’m stuck in Windows. Is not as intuitive as I’d like, but it’s extremely powerful and freeware. :)
