Here is my personal point of view ...

I just (re)discovered wxRuby with the 1.9.1 beta release and I like it 
for the following reasons (in the order of my preferences) :

- Ruby user friendly syntax (the 1.9.1 beta release includes sugar 
syntax from wxSugar and upcoming release will improve the syntax 
further)
- really native toolkit that looks great on WinXP for example.
I'm almost sure that FOX and thus FXRuby are not native toolkits.
- very easy installation (only one binary gem)
- flexible licence (commercial and opensource usages)
- support for Windows, Linux and MacOSX (even if I mainly use Windows)

I'm not a member of the wxRuby team but they have done a good job with 
the upcoming wxRuby2.
Nevertheless, if you have different preferences/requirements, your 
choice will be likely different.

Cheers,

Chauk-Mean.
