I just checked again, and their page say 'full support' for several 
languages including Ruby, but when you go to the 'compare versions' 
page, autocomplete doesn't have Ruby listed.  As that would be the only 
reason I would buy it, I find that a shame.

It's worth noting that KDE's Quanta wishlist has just confirmed Ruby 
autocomplete as a wish.  More people may want to vote on it and make it 
happen.  http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129279
