I think it is deplorable that there aren't any good [1] Ruby IDEs out there. Python comes with one (Idle).
[1] By good I mean free/open source and best of breed. Rewriting the Python description of IDLE: "coded in 100% pure Ruby, using the tkinter GUI toolkit cross-platform: works on Windows and Unix multi-window text editor with multiple undo, Ruby colorizing and many other features, e.g. smart indent and call tips Ruby shell window (a.k.a. interactive interpreter) debugger (not complete, but you can set breakpoints, view and step)" It seems to me we have all these pieces already. Wirble, ruby-debug, window library wrappers. It should be so good, X-Platform that it should ship with the basic Ruby distribution (like rubygems does now w/1.9). Or it could ship as a gem. Other features I'd like. RVM and Bundler support. Rails/Sinatra colorizing*, code completion. (I don't like tips or hints - hated BBedit for that reason). *extensible with snippets/bundles.
