I am a little bit in the same boat. I regularly try Ruby editors/IDE.
But so far, they have not provided enough of an increase in features and
productivity that they justified to switch (and get used to a new
environment, work flow, key bindings, etc.). No religious thinking here,
the day I see a clear advantage in using an IDE for Ruby, I'll switch.
But for now Emacs does it for me.

That said, I sincerely hope great IDEs will emerge for Ruby.

Guillaume.
