http://www.jedit.org/
A general editor, although this page has notes on using the Ruby plugin from rubyjedit.org
While it’s really cool to have autocompletion, I think the experience of using Kate with my simple modifications is far better than this crap. My next step up from that would have to be a proper IDE.
more coming later

Abandoned and homeless
Software >
A telnet client.
It’s Java, but explicitly uses Ruby as its internal language.
It works fairly well for what it is.. but it lacks some basic functionality, namely running a startup script and allowing scripts to set the internal state of the program. So I’m forced to manually load a savefile on startup, and forced to manually connect to a MUD.

https://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/en/
An email client.
POP3, APOP, IMAP4rev1, mh, SMTP, SMTP AUTH, NNTP, SSL/TLS, OpenPGP, external editors, filtering, muliple identities. Good multilanguage and character set support.
Sylpheed is bafflingly bad in places, and Claws Mail was a welcome improvement. This relationship reminds me a lot of PCManFM versus PCManFM-mod (which later became SpaceFM).
