I've run the whole gamut, from RadRails to vim to emacs to FreeRide to jEdit to textmate to Netbeans....and I can safely say that NetBeans, in terms of an "IDE", wins hands down. It has the best auto-complete features and incredible debugging capabilities built right in. You will not go wrong with NB.

Now, I'm not saying it's any better for *you* than emacs or vim or jEdit or textmate...that is highly subjective. Nor am I saying it's any better for text editing. Just that, in terms of what most consider an IDE by today's standards, NetBeans is the best available for Ruby.
