I love it.

I know how to work my way around Emacs, and yet, I user Scribes @ work (and for all around coding).

I work on php/perl mostly, and get a heck of use out of snippets and auto-completion.

However, I'd say I use a combination of (a fixed) glipper, gnome terminal, opera 9.6 (with it's -so far pretty great- developer tools), and nautilus (with it's beautiful gvfs).

Cheers.

Does this support Rack?

One of the nice things about textmate is that it supports having a directory view of your project as well as just editing text files. Does your project have that? If so, I can't seem to find it.
