Redcar: A TextMate like editor for Gnome.

[theApokalypsis]

I have been trying out various editors for various languages and scripts/markup such as Geany, Bluefish, even Aptana. I came across Redcar, a infant-stage programming editor under development written in Ruby/Vala with many TextMate (Mac) like aspects. Some great aspects

- tree style file manager
- huge language bundles(ex Rails commands) and highlighting.
- Lots of themes including, for anyone that watches Railscasts, the sweet textmate theme Ryan uses in his casts is included as well
- tons of built in snippets for many languages

I have been using Geany so far, but it has some good potential and I figured worthwhile posting about on the forums. Got it running nicely on 9.04 from instructions here

Redcar 0.3 is now a Ruby Gem!

Runs on JRuby (newly ported to) but also the Ruby MRI as well.

Looking forward to future releases.

This one looks really nice, I have been looking for something better than gEdit and this looks promising.
