Sounds like the Eudaimonia Machine concept: https://blog.fentress.com/blog/the-eudaimonia-machine-a-spac...

What you quoted doesn't mention an IDE at all. "extract interface" is just the name of series of steps that you can accomplish with or without an IDE.
Martin Fowler's book 'Refactoring' gives names a whole bunch of these. That might be where the op is coming from.

The demos are broken due to git merge tokens. (line 87 "<<<<<<< HEAD")

That S-expressions can/often contain code doesn't make them more complicated when used for data only. Anything can contain code.

No technical limits were hit. They have nearly the same feature set.
Geocoder's api feels a little bit more modern Geokit (rails3 vs 2). Having read the code for both, Geocoder was cleaner and would be easier to tweak if necessary.
So really it's just a preference: they do the same thing.

I just switched from geokit to geocoder in the app I'm building. I found geocoder to be significantly better for my purposes.

Very nice. That's a tool I was just about to need.
My circles and rectangles are a bit sloppy... Scratch that, I found the toolbox. Awesome.

It didn't. I'm pretty sure.

I use linux: gentoo, arch, and ubuntu. But if you're using ruby, you should just use rvm. Then the distro doesn't matter that much.
