In the free world, I believe it is one of the best - on the other hand, 
being Java, it is a bit slow - which makes it a real pain to use if you 
plan to use it to hammer out a script that takes only a few minutes to 
jot down.. or modify.  That said, it offers debug support, easy 
switching between JRuby and MRI and so on.  If I'm doing anything 
serious, I'd use NetBeans - for quick, proof-of-concept stuff where I 
know most of the stuff, I just use Crimson Editor or Scite.

Cheers,
Mohit.
