Subject: Re: What do you use with Ruby for GUI programming and why?

Surprised no one has mentioned Fxruby and Wxruby.

there is also a frontend fui builder for fxruby called fxoGUIb written 
by henon (it uses fxruby bindings).

I use it with 1.8.7 (get some error codes appear that don't come up with 
1.8.6 but doesn't stop it running).

pro's

cross platform but you have to change the widget placement sometimes 
when using foxGUIb but that's not too bad.

you can create you're GUI really fast and then subclass you're event 
handling code behind it to make it run.

con's

no longer in developement (fxruby or foxGUIb but are MIT or GPL so 
anyone could take these up and run with them again).

can be a bugger to get foxGUIb going when you start out.

not tried using either on a mac.

Wxruby not used but think it'd be similar to fxruby.

HTH

dave.
