#2Hrm, interesting, but I write Ruby on emacs all the time. Except mine doesn't need a long post, just:
Open Terminal, type "emacs -nw".

#3As an aside, ruby-mode was recently merged into the emacs core, so that should help adoption. I know I have seen a lot of complaints on #emacs about "why doesn't ruby code have syntax highlighting!?". Now it does :)
People should also try out my new eproject minor mode, which will make emacs aware of the relationships between files in the same project:
http://git.jrock.us/?p=eproject.git;a=blob_plain;f=eproject....
I think textmate has a feature like this that people like.

#4What emacs extensions do other people use for Rails?
I use two-mode-mode to swap between HTML (psgml) mode and Ruby mode for the templates, as well as rhtml-minor-mode, which is mainly aimed at helping psgml-mode find the parent layout. rhtml-minor-mode could use some hacking - I wrote it in a hurry.

#5Ruby: "There's more than one way to do it, but most of them aren't cool enough!"

#6I think in this case the Ruby community is a trend follower instead of trend setter.. I guess Emacs (or vim) is being used by open source folks for two decades.

#7Before I get flamed out of existence - I use a Mac, and I use TextMate, and I use Emacs. With that disclaimer out of the way -
This guy bought a whole different platform just so that he could run a different text editor? This feels like putting the wrong cart in front of the wrong horse.

i recommend people always use -nw, it will ensure that on the client or remote, you always use emacs the same way. now kill all the menubars and other stuff too...if you are going to use emacs, use the keyboard and the help system. that is the emacs-way

Agreed. It also seems like he's switching editors for similarly misled reasons. Sure, trying it out because everyone seems to be switching is fine, and if you like it better sure, stick with it. But to switch editors "just because everyone else is doing it" seems uninformed and very "me too me too!"

...or the vim way ;)
