I'm sure FreeRIDE will be cool, and I'm looking forward to Rich's
presentation at RubyConf.  But I think one draw of the Eclipse Ruby
plugin will be software houses that are already using Eclipse for Java
developement.  You can say "Look, it already works with the tools we are
using." 

Its not a matter of either/or, but both/and.  They will target different
audiences.
