If your on a windows or even linux system I might recommend to you Komodo
IDE. It has a very good and customizable syntax highlighting, Regexp tool
kit, customized indentation guides, allows you to track projects and a lot
of other stuff. If you are on a Mac, textmate seems to be the most popular.

I don't find Vim to be complex to set up at all. I do something like
this at the shell:
# portinstall vim
. . . and in a few moments, it's set up. I wonder what complexities
you've encountered.

I've got my eyes on a Macbook, hopefully in the not too distant
future, so I'll probably follow the textmate herd.
I've run the whole gamut, from RadRails to vim to emacs to FreeRide to jEdit to textmate to Netbeans....and I can safely say that NetBeans, in terms of an "IDE", wins hands down. It has the best auto-complete features and incredible debugging capabilities built right in. You will not go wrong with NB.
Now, I'm not saying it's any better for *you* than emacs or vim or jEdit or textmate...that is highly subjective. Nor am I saying it's any better for text editing. Just that, in terms of what most consider an IDE by today's standards, NetBeans is the best available for Ruby.

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

I mostly only use SciTE when trapped on MS Windows -- which raises the
question:
To what OS platform is this question meant to be relevant?
The answer to the question of what IDE is best (for you) may vary
depending on your OS environment.

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.

Let me rephrase the question to something more answerable:
Which IDE do you use for Ruby and/or Rails development, and why do you use
that IDE?
And to the original poster: What features are you looking for in an IDE for
Ruby?
I use SciTE because it has Ruby syntax highlighting, can export colored-code
to HTML, and is super-quick to load. It also shows the console when running
your script, without going out to the command prompt. But, I don't use it
for hard-core development. If I were using it for hard-core development,
I'd like as many of the features from Jetbrains' IntelliJ IDEA as you could
possibly get, but for Ruby.
Which IDE has the most of those? Recently, Charles Nutter said some good
things about NetBeans
(Headius: NetBeans Ruby Support is the BOMB
), but I haven't tried it yet myself. Can anyone say which Ruby IDEs are
similar to IDEA, and in what ways (or ReSharper if you are more familiar
with the .NET world)? I realize some things would be near-impossibility in
a dynamic language, without tracing from the start of a program to how you
get to a particular piece of code.

I do, too, for shell-like stuff (re: Perl and Ruby). I just use tcsh as

Am I the only person here tempted to pronounce tcsh "taco shell"?

I'll have to admit I'm used to vim, but I've never experienced tcsh. I
was a csh person for a long time (BSD 4.3 era -- *nobody* used the
Bourne shell and I don't even think the Korn shell existed.) But aside
from an occasional "foreach i in C??? do; ....." I do everything even
remotely resembling programming in Perl, Ruby or R.

Not to divert the flow of thought at all but...
has anyone successfully been able to integrate camping with NetBeans
for development? I was playing with it this weekend, and ended up
resorting to manually running camping from a terminal, instead of
being able to launch it from NB.
Hopefully it's just because I'm a netbeans noob!

This question comes up from time to time. My vote, if you have been
using Microsoft Visual Studio, is the Ruby In Steel plugin for VS. It's
not free, but well worth the price.
