My personal favorite is emacs with emacs-rails package. Well worth a look if you want a development environment that you can carry with you through time and computer changes. For example, I started using emacs as a C development platform on VMS in 1979 (DEC Vax - prehistory) and have used it under unix, windows, and osx to develop code in many different languages.
Check out this site to get started: http://dima-exe.ru/rails-on-emacs I've also tried Vim, NetBeans, jEdit, and ScITE but emacs remains my editor of choice. Risky religious rant here... On a slightly different note, I think you ought to take a look at one of the many linux variants (or osx if you're shopping for a new computer). While it is true that Microsoft has desktop dominance this is due more to clever marketing and a historic middle management mantra (Nobody ever got fired for purchasing IBM) than to technical innovation or excellence.
