Really, I'm surprised this discussion has gone on as long as it has.  But,
in summary, we know now that:

1) The Ruby one-click installer is slower at many tasks than the Cygwin Ruby
(but some benchmarks are mixed, so your mileage may vary, as always)
2) People have strongly held beliefs about the tools that they choose to
use.  You won't change people, nor should you, because people will find what
works best for them and what they're most productive with.
3) Mac's are expensive for the same level of hardware as a PC ;)  (come on,
I couldn't help but to put that in)
4) Gotta love the comic strips inserted by David ;)
