I use gvim. Here's a list of editors with tweaks to get them ruby-aware:

Sweet. I didn't know such a thing existed. Is it mature?

Well, I've never used many IDEs before so I don't know how to compare
nor what to expect from a mature IDE. Eclipse is mature ofcourse, RDT
is still work in progress. I've tried other IDEs -- the others already
mentioned here and JEdit (http://www...) -- but Eclipse was to
one which worked very intuitive for me. It's subjective, I know. ;-)

Cheers,
David

I've been using gvim for the past two months. It's been an interesting
experiment. I used to hate vi, but was somewhat forced into this due to some
very restrictive network access. This turned into a quest to answer the
question "Would I be more productive if I moved the mouse away and focused on
doing everything from the keyboard?" For me the answer, after some learning
curve, has been yes. I think the target audience for vi and clones like gvim
is people that want to keep their hands on the keyboard in order to increase
their productivity.

I'm using the aforementioned jEdit (http://www....) and Ruby
plugin (http://www....ruby/). (Note, if you go to install the
plugin, that it fails to list one dependency in the instructions:
ErrorList.)

I've only used it for a week (for that matter, I've only used Ruby for
two and a half), but the color highlighting is fine (not perfect - $ in
a Regex, __END__ throw it off for example), and the integrated ri is
nice, though it fails to mention a given classes superclass and mixins,
so I still end up flipping between the IDE and Firefox. There's also a
rough autocomplete (shows you whatever's in rdoc, regardless of the
owning class), though it rarely does any good. It does, however, do its
job of being a text editor with a "project" view to help you edit
multiple files at once.

That's not to knock it, Mr. Plugin Creator, wherever you are. It's new,
and I still like it.

Windows: SciTE
MacOS X: TextMate (with BBEdit thrown into the mix)
