Ruby does not get rid of semicolons or brackets. Heck, you can write Java/C++ style curly brace code in Ruby if you wanted.

  Of course, if you did write Java/C++ style curly brace code in Ruby, those of us who like Ruby would bring out the pitchforks.

    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

        also matchit.vim to do %-bouncing between keyword/end pairs
