I'm using Komodo and I like it. I did a rather lengthy evaluation, and 
threw out Eclipse mostly because it was too big and too Java-oriented. 
That left some Ruby-specific tools, which I think are rather weak, 
KDevelop and Komodo. I really like KDevelop -- it's extremely well 
integrated with Ruby, Qt and KDE, as well as SVN and CVS, C/C++ and, as 
far as I know, Perl, Python, PHP, Java, Javascript and HTML.

What pushed me over the edge from KDevelop to Komodo was the fact that 
it was really a one platform -- one sub-platform, actually -- solution. 
If you want to develop for Windows, Macs, use a toolkit other than Qt, 
or a desktop other than KDE, you have a fair amount of work to do. 
Komodo runs on at least Windows and Linux, is toolkit neutral (but 
prefers Tk / ActiveTcl), and has a pretty good Ruby interface. But if 
you can live with KDevelop's platform biases, I think it's the way to go.
