I'm using Eclipse with Ruby Development Tools. I don't tend to use the 
debugger very often, but it does work. The unit testing facilities are fine. 
And there's the extensibility of Eclipse (for example, I use the vi 
plug-in).

In fact, I've gone off the Rails for a bit to play around with Eclipse 
plug-in development.
