Try the open source FreeRIDE IDE:

   http://freeride.rubyforge.org/

It not only does code folding, but also has a source browser - a 
clickable tree control that let's you see and navigate your ruby code by 
its structure (module/class/method). It also has interactive Ruby 
documentation.

Best of all, it written entirely in Ruby and is open source!
