I started to use Aptana, you might want to check it out for yourself
and see if you like it.

http://www.aptana.com/

I have to admit it took me a while to get going to create a "Hello
World" test project. I found out I needed to edit the environment.rb
file and comment out the version of Rails it was expecting, after this
I was able to view my test page inside the IDE browser. Also took me a
while to figure out how to use webrick for dev instead of mongrel
which I also have installed on my dev box.

Anyways I think it's a nice IDE, I was using Bluefish / Kate to edit
my code before ;)
