FreeRIDE also has an integrated debugger.

I'd like to point out why you might want to consider using FreeRIDE. Some of
its major features are:

- Color syntax highlighting
- Code Folding
- Source code navigation by module, class, method
- Integrated debugger
- Written in Ruby and is open source
- Plugin based and user-extendable in Ruby

And coming soon:
- Integrated refactoring support
  (compliments of the Ruby Refactoring Browser project)

We chose to write FreeRIDE in Ruby so that 1) we could write it in our
favorite language, and 2) so that you could extend it by writing Ruby code.

As our user community grows, we get more and more features through
user-contributed plugins that compliment the efforts of the FreeRIDE team.

I hope that you will give FreeRIDE a serious try.

Thanks,
Curt

PS
  Testimonials by existing FreeRIDE users are more than welcome.
