Here's an answer that might actually help you out :)

I encountered the same issues when first delving into ruby. However, I 
soon discovered that the ruby one-click installer comes with a great 
little light-weight editor called SciTE. Check the install directory 
from the one-click, it should be there. Now, I wouldn't call it an "IDE" 
but it's got syntax highlighting and is very light weight. I really 
enjoy coding in it.

I also use RadRails (an Eclipse plugin) when doing Rails development on 
windows. When I'm working with either Rails or Ruby on a mac, I turn to 
TextMate (what else?). Hope this helps clear up some issues you're 
having.

I, for one, feel that the response you received was ridiculous. I 
started learning ruby and frequenting these boards about 6 months ago 
and the warm reception I received as a nuby was one of the main things 
that cause me to be so drawn to the language.

There may be a few people that are degrading the quality of these 
boards, but as said previously, you are very likely to get a nice, 
helpful response. Don't give up on ruby, it's a great language and a 
wonderful community (in my experience).
