MacRuby is the best way to handle packaging of applications on a Mac. This
is a topic that's particularly important to me, and trust me, they've got it
right.

You don't need to ask your user to install anything: it bundles not only
your gems but also the ruby interpreter directly inside of the .app, so they
need it and only it.

At this point, RubyCocoa is all but deprecated, as it's what turned into
MacRuby, IIRC.

But seriously: use MacRuby. Hopefully, when the packaging gets a bit better,
I'll be able to recommend Shoes as well. Packaging is a weak point at the
moment, though.
