Me too. The fact that Tk comes bundled with the vanilla Ruby
installation (esp. in terms of the Windows One Click deal) makes it a
toolkit that folks hit the ground running with. But for me I feel that
GTK and Qt are a little more object oriented and are a better fit in
terms of Ruby. Plus like you said, the documentation is a lot better.
It's just a shame that in terms of Windows implementations the Qt
library really only works for Cygwin installs. The only way I got it to
work on non-Cygwin installs was by using a Qt binary fileset published
for Ruby 1.6.8...
