[Radiant] Woes of read-the-code documentation

All I can say is the read-the-code form of documentation is not ranked
highly in my book.  If Ruby had a dynamic IDE debugger on par with
Visual Studio, it might be much easier to learn from the code.  But as
it stands I usually resort to dumping displays to the console in
punchcard-programmer fashion.

Have you tried Netbeans 6?  It's as good as Visual Studio given the
limitations of a dynamically-typed language.
