Thanks for the tip! E seems to be defaulting to RoR mode for me now with version 1.0.9.

I still use E for ruby development, but had to abandon it for C++; it was silently converting from Unicode to UTF-8 when saving.

If you still face the problem that e is not defaulting to rails mode for ruby code, go and edit Syntaxes/Ruby.plist in your Ruby.tmbundle directory and make sure the file extension you use for ruby files is in the fileTypes list around line 47.
Also there’s a quick way of switching to ruby mode by pressing Win+Alt+Shift+R as defined in lines 94 and 95 of the Sytaxes/Ruby.plist file in the ruby bundle.

Glad we could help. I’ve been using emacs in the terminal and Crimson Editor for windows for a while now, but after seeing a friend use TextMate on his Mac I was in awe.

Hopefully E turns out just as well.
