RDE is decent, except that it has been known to spew unusual errors.  But,
when it's working, it's pretty good.  I think I stuck to 0.9.6, btw.

Another option for Windows is Eclipse (http://www.eclipse.org) with the RDT
plugin (http://rubyeclipse.sf.net).  This has support for the debugger as
well, but only for Ruby 1.6.8 (at least, that's what I think the docs said).
