Notepad ++ is a good choice.
It's quite used around here I think. I use it to.
But I don't use bridge. I reload my scripts having robycode editor open all the time during developping. Can't remember why I do it this way
Just letting you know there is that option to.

From your experience is it a good idea to use core ruby classes with Sketchup and I am not sure how it will effect the working of plugin on Macs
(Like I said. My experience is poor, so don't take what I have written as solid good advice.
I must stress that. I just jump in and ask questions or give advice when maybe I should
keep my mouth shut. )
At some point you must use the API ? Doesent matter if youre on Mac or not.
What I meant was that if there already exist a method in the API, one should use it.
Most likely it will be a faster method then what you will create in Ruby.
Automatic Sketchup is really good for getting grasp of transformations and such. But you should really poke around other peoples scripts to get a feel of how to do things..
