I messed with RDT, but, Eclipse has been ugly bloatware (this thread is 
about OPINIONs right?) since day 0.  So, I got rid of that pretty fast. 
  Junk.

Tried Komodo when it was Beta, on Mac OS X; was impressed and 
immediately purchased a personal copy.  Really, the price can't be beat! 
  Now I use it occasionally on both Win32 and OS X for both Python and 
Ruby debugging.

Only complaint, the Ruby debugger is TOO SLOW.  It's worked OK for me so 
far, but I haven't debugged anything major.  I did start a Rails WEBrick 
up in it once - that took a bit!

Note, I only use it as a debugger.  I use TextMate on OS X and Visual 
Slickedit on Win32 for editing.

Have NOT tried ArachnoRuby, but based on the other debugger thread, I'm 
going to have to take a look at it soon!
