That looks pretty sweet! I'll have to play with that!

A working 1.9 debugger and profiler would be nice. I don't really use the former but a lot of ppl seem to. I use the latter a lot.

I still find string encoding to be more than a little PITA. I'd rather ruby standardize on UTF8 for at least internal encoding, but probably both...

Not having a completely borked rubygems setup would be nice too... but we're working on that, albeit slowly. :)
