Hack-a-lot: Ruby syntax highlighting

At the moment I am exercising in ruby with vim, of course, because vim is the best and fastest editor I ever had my hands on.

While I happen to have a BBedit license, I sometimes want to use it. I now found an old file that gives syntax highlighting support for ruby to BBedit.
Taking a look at BBedit's configuration it seems it does not support too many languages by default... vim also knows that I want a tab in a new line when def'ining a new action...

But who am I kidding? Vim's the best editor.

Yeah. Are you sure you want to start an editor war on your blog? :)

I totally agree that vim is one of the best editors. If you work on *nix you certainly need (at least some basic) knowledge of vi(m). Usually I prefer vim for my daily editor jobs as well, but I start to to use SuBEthaEdit more and more. Especially the collaboration feature is really fantastic. But as far as I know it is only available for Mac OS, which is a drawback.
