If you want some first hand perspective. My company purchased a number
of copies, based upon it as a source code browser if for no other
purpose. Lothar has been responsive to our requests. It is still rough
around the edges (we have had a couple crashes), and some features are
missing (but planned) - but it breathes Ruby, code navigation is very
good.

For me personally it starts up a little slow (I was previously used to
invoking my editor from the command line and editing right away -- I
have become accustom to leaving it running and task switching to it).

I am also eagerly awaiting 0.7
