The same web page also said (in reply to a question similar to yours) that FxRuby seems to be a better option than wxRuby (considering all factors together, not necessarily just on technical merits, e.g. could have been referring to the fact that wxRuby dev. is slow/stopepd). Don't know more than this as of now. FXRuby is based on the Fox toolkit, a C++ GUI toolkit.
