+1 on vim with rails/hobo plugins. another advantage is you can get the same editor experience through a shell as you're used to for development if say, you need to make a quick change on a remote server.
http://www.screencast.com/t/ZTMxZDI4Mjct here's what it looks like with my setup. vi(m) takes a little bit of work getting used to but as I've heard, every posix system has vi unlike any other editor other than maybe line edit. If you're looking for a full ide, you might try radrails. I've used it a little and the code completion was nice but I found I just wasn't as fast, especially moving lines of code around. Same deal as netbeans, you need to use the sun jvm and not openjava.
