At this point, it looks like I'll probably use Monkeybars and JRuby for 
this project.  But...what about wxRuby and Shoes?  I understand Shoes 
was very popular for a while at least, and I like wxRuby's lack of 
reliance on JVMs, yet I notice no one recommended these.  Are there 
problems that I'm not aware of, or is that simply coincidental?

(Yes, I realize I may just have to play around with these all and find 
out.  I'm just trying to get off the ground as quickly as possible.)

Best,
