My two cents:

I use Ruby mostly on Windows at work, but sometimes on OS X. So far I
only know plain YARV Ruby, but I'd like to learn Cocoa integration
with MacRuby and Java integration with JRuby.

On Windows I use jEdit, which is in Java and quite responsive for me.
I installed NetBeans to be able to play around with its UI builder
with JRuby/Monkeybars/Swing, but haven't done much with it apart from
that. On OS X I use MacVim.
