For IDE, I would suggesst Aptana's RadRails (http://www.aptana.com/ rails). It is based on Eclipse and designed well to implement/deploy RoR applications (it has a nice feature called AptanaCloud which lets you deploy RoR applications in the cloud in minutes). One thing to remember, building RoR applications is just one part of the equation, with the other being deployment. There are several solutions around for this (mongrels+rails, apache+phusion-passenger+rails, etc.) and they all require certain level of Linux expertise. That is what makes an IDE like RadRails sweet: it will take care of the deployment part for you so you can focus on building the application and not have to configure a Linux Box with server capabilities.
