Bill:

If you're interested in Eclipse and RDT, I might suggest the setup I use
in my development. I find it much more useful than RadRails*** but you
have to build it yourself. (I do provide downloadable configuration
files and templates to speed up the process.

*** RadRails http://www.radrails.org is coming along nicely though.

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.
