Shoes is a neat tool, but not for making lots of buttony apps with  
reusable widgets and complex layouts.

Take a look at Monkeybars (http://monkeybars.rubyforge.org/). You can  
use a drag and drop designer to layout your app. We have an active  
mailing list and the code is very stable. We also have distribution  
covered well with Rawr so you can make a .exe to give to your users.  
Monkeybars has been used for paid projects as well, and it's very easy  
(and usually automatic) that it obfuscates your code, so if you want  
to make a product that's hard to reverse engineer, it's a very good  
route to go.
