AskMeCha: Me like the editor are they using in this rails tutorial. What is it? Is something like it available for us WXP people?

That's TextMate.

From http://macromates.com/:

Created by a closet UNIX geek who was lured to the Mac platform by its ease of use and elegance, TextMate has been referred to as the culmination of Emacs and OS X and has resulted in countless requests for both a Windows and Linux port, but TextMate remains exclusive for the Mac, and that is how we like it!

...so no.

Well now that that's settled. Anybody know of a linux-compatible editor which has built-in FTP like EditPlus does?

Shucks.

Kate has built in FTP, IIRC.

Thanks. I have Kate installed, but it's from 2001 and looking over the site it seems there's definately some new features worth upgrading for (yes my sysadmin should have upgraded me already, so much for his beer), though I still don't see the ftp feature. (Looks like it might be possible to use an user script or something to do it though.)
