Hi All
Could anyone tell me which is best IDE for ruby and rails development.
at least we can know features of IDEs that other ruby people are using

Increasingly, I'm using NetBeans for Ruby and RoR. On the other hand, for Windows apps using Ruby, I'm using WideStudio (it supports a lot of other platforms too).

Well ... everyone has their own favorite, so you'll get lots of answers.
Most of the ones I've seen recommended here are open-source, but I think
you'll find that quite a few people who use Macs think of TextMate as
more of an IDE than a text editor and would recommend it over the open
source ones. My own personal favorite is Komodo, but that's neither open
source nor free.
As far as a feature comparison chart is concerned, I can't recall seeing
one anywhere. Eclipse (with plugins) is probably the most full-featured
of the open-source IDEs.

I guess it depends on which OS your using. If your using MacOSX then I
might recommend textmate, for windows there is a IDE that is very
similar to textmate called "e" which works ok. The one I use and prefer
though for windows, or linux is Komodo. It has a very nice color scheme
editor and it allows you to make snippets for code short cuts along with
a really cool Regexp helper tool. It also does smart formatting and auto
completing.

Since you seem to be looking for an IDE to use, I will separate my message
into two parts. The first, how to go about finding a good IDE for _you_ and
second about my Integrated Development Environment choices.
Finding the right IDE for you:
You need to ask your self some questions about your work habits and needs first.
0.) What Operating System are you using such as Windows XP, Debian, NetBSD,
Mac OS X, e.t.c. Will you need to work on different platforms? For example I
often work on Ruby files from Windows XP and FreeBSD. -> You need an IDE that
supports your work environment(s).
1.) What level of experience do you have or wish to have with the technology
involved. Do you prefer point & click friendly or like textual interaction?
With Ruby you shouldn't be afraid of running Ruby programs from the Command
Line Interface, it's really very simple in Ruby. If you want to just mouse
away, you'll want an IDE that offers Graphical front ends for Running and
Debugging your programs. This could get more complicated for Rails, I'm not
sure as I've only used IDE's for oriented for regular programming (not Web
Development). Play to your strengths, needs to learn, or requirements for ease
of learning.
2.) How much will you use the software? If you spend little time working on
source code any text editor will do, preferably any thing that can convert
between Unix/DOS/Mac style file formats (search wikipeda for end of line if
interested on that subject). If you edit files _A_L_O_T_ you will want an
editing system that is comfortable for you to use, very powerful, and
extensibility would be a plus.
3.) Do you use more then one Language? This is a two pronged question, you'll
need an IDE that supports what ever character set and language you use. For
example, some people may prefer an IDE that works in Japanese but write their
code in English. Also the same for Programming Languages. If you'll only be
working in Ruby/Rails some thing Ruby oriented will be fine, if you are only
doing Web Development some thing geared for it with plugins for Ruby would
probably be best. If like me, you like learning several different programming
languages but not IDE's and Keystrokes, you'll want some thing that can handle
multiple languages well.
Generally I suggest KDevelop, Visual Studio, and Eclipse to people depending
on their needs. I have never used Eclipse or NetBeans but I hear they are very
good IDE's.
Play to your strengths, list your needs and fill them, and try IDE's. You can
also find a bit of a comparison on IDE's here,
About my Development Environment.
My first IDE was Dev-C++, I liked it a lot but soon I found that I did not
want to use a different IDE for each language I'd ever use. Dev-C++,
Code::Blocks (C/C++), KDevelop (_many_ languages!), and Microsoft Visual C++
2005 Express Edition, I've tried but never found useful. For the IDE's I've
used, Visual Studio is by far the most mature user interface (but the compiler
can kiss my grits), while KDevelop is probably the most featureful I've used
but is Linux focused. I require tools that can be used on at least the most
major OS groups: Windows NT, Linux/GNU, Mac OS X, and BSD Unix.
I decided I would skip IDE's all together and use a POTE, Plain Old Text
Editor ! For this there are many, choosing one goes the same way as an IDE.
The Editors I normally suggest to people are Emacs, Vim, KATE, and
occasionally jEdit.
I predominantly use Vim, it's extremely powerful, the best documented
application I have EVER seen, extensible, customizable, and like any good Text
Editor with Programmers in mind. Has support for many languages, including
Ruby.
I write my code in Vim, some times I use MicroEMACS, New Vi, or KATE but
mostly it's Vim. I keep it in one tab on my terminal emulator (Konsole).
I keep language documentation handy, be it via man, ri, perldoc, QT Assistant,
or just online documentation. usually I employ another Konsole tab or a Web
Browser for this.
And I keep a tab in my terminal emulator open for running and debugging the
program. When working with Ruby I usually have a tab with irb running as well.
The interactive Ruby interpretor is an invaluable command line tool for
working with Ruby. It is definitly one of the reasons I enjoy using Ruby so
much ! -> No need to write a scratch file(s) to test code before including it
in my current prototype.
Emacs, IDE's, and Vim can all do these things through their provided
interfaces as can many other good editors. I just do things the way I prefer.
Using a text editor like Vim or Emacs I can have the same environment for many
languages and on many platforms, this is what I like.

I am still confused which IDE to choose among freeride, aptana,
radrails ,netbeans which is most feature rich ?

Personally I currently use vim with a bunch of plugins.
I tried out radrails this weekend, but found that it just performs
horribly on the hardware I've got available. Part of me thinks I
SHOULD be using it since I actually worked on Eclipse and it's
predecessors at IBM, but...
I've got my eyes on a Macbook, hopefully in the not too distant
future, so I'll probably follow the textmate herd.

My blog on Ruby
http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/
I do all my Rails programming in Komodo as well, but I'm also one
of the developers on it. So when I see something isn't working well
I can turn around quickly and put out a fix. The team has also
implemented automatic updates, using the same mechanism that
Firefox and Thunderbird use, since it's a Mozilla app as well.
Komodo Edit is a free-as-in-beer version, and has all the basic
Rails support except for a debugger. And while it isn't an
open source project, most of it is implemented in Python,
JavaScript, CSS, and XUL, and we ship all that, and accept
patches.

I use always Arachno IDE for ruby and also for rails development. It
has a big potential but supports mainly windows (linux version is too
old). Eclipse is for me too big. Vim and Emacs are complex to setup.
Bah! echo and an empty file

IDEs are personal. You can use anything that works for you. I'd recommend trying out a couple. For the longest time, i was just using a text editor with syntax highlighting for Ruby.

Amount of features != quality of IDE.
My recommendation, as well as of others, download a few IDEs, and test drive
them to find out with which one you are most comfortable. That will be the
best IDE you can find: Yours.
I personally use NetBeans[0], for work across multiple files, and SciTE[1]
for quick-and-dirty scripts, and irb[2] for quick
prototyping/proof-of-concept work.
[0] http://deadlock.netbeans.org/hudson/job/ruby/ contains the build I use
and frequently update.
[1] Scintilla and SciTE comes with the Windows
Ruby-One-Click installer, and is crossplatform (I've used it on Windows and
Linux)
[2] Ruby (programming language) - Wikipedia Ruby's own shell

Netbeans 6.0 is a better IDE. Have support to Ruby On Rails and Ruby.

They released a new version of the ruby plugin for intellij today. It adds a lot of functionality/features and comes with the stability and usability of intellij.
you can download a trial of the next version of intellij here
http://www.jetbrains.net/confluence/display/IDEADEV/Selena+EAP
The ruby plugin (v.0.2) can be found here
http://www.jetbrains.net/confluence/display/RUBYDEV/IntelliJ+IDEA+Ruby+Plugin
make sure to give it a try. I find when doing rails apps i can "develop with pleasure!"
