Busy week for Eclipse related announcements

In addition to our PDT 1.0 announcement there were two other Eclipse related announcements that I find very interesting.

1) CodeGear has announced their 3rdRails Ruby IDE.   Ruby continues to be a hot language and from the initial feedback, CodeGear has done a great job on their support.  btw, I love the name.  ?

2) IBM announced that they are making their office productivity tools, called Lotus Symphony, freely available.  Lotus Symphony is based on Eclipse RCP, so I thought it was interesting to see the experience of this Eclipse developer looking at Lotus Symphony.   I do wonder why IBM did not actually open source Symphony; that would have been very cool.
