Redcar: A Textmate-like Editor for Gnome
Redcar is a pure Ruby text editor for Gnome. It has syntax highlighting, snippets, macros and is highly extensible. It’s still in an infantile stage but it looks very promising and so far the app is running very well (on my box). Redcar’s blog has a category for posts with screenshots if interested.

THIS. IS. AWESOME.
I recently started using it also. It looks promising although it has a way to go.
What’s promising about it specifically?
The features listed above “highlighting, snippets, macros” very similar to textmate.
Yes it’s really cool. I’ve been using it all day and im very happy with it.
I wish it was as easy to get going as sudo apt-get install but hey, im happy with installing from source.
The UI feels very light weight and the snippets and stuff like that make my life easier. I am coming from netbeans which feels like a giant (and is java bleh)
This looks like yet another text editor. Why should one be excited? Just because it’s (partially) written in ruby? What more does it offer over vim or emacs or gedit for that matter?
brilliant &&&& long awaited! thanks a lot!
Snippets and bundles, cool!
