At least then vim would understand it and you wouldn't have to deindent every 'end' yourself. It would be nice to be able to use % and some other stuff that you get with most other languages.

The fact is that the visual style of a language is trivial to get used to. Breaking my text editor is a real issue though.

vim does understand Ruby. As soon as I type end, it automatically de-indents the line 2 spaces. Put this in your ~/.vimrc:

    filetype plugin indent on
