I'm quite suprised to see no one's posted emacs yet, so I'll be the first.
I'll admit I barely tried out Textmate, and only briefly toyed with RDT in
Eclipse, but after watching my boss use emacs to write ruby, I was quickly
sold on how productive I could be with it. I'd never used it before, and
thus had a rather steep learning curve to get over...but now I doubt I'd
trade it for much of anything to write ruby, until some of these other tools
get far more advanced than than they currently are when it comes to
refactoring support, etc.
Emacs combined with a knowledge of lisp and enough time, and you can pretty
well emulate most anything any of these others can do, granted with a fair
amount of code writing and tweaking. The up side to this is there's a lot of
smart people who have already done that for you, and there's ruby extensions
abound for emacs already, many of which I find quite useful.
Anyhow, my 2 cents.

Chris
