The recent thread on newbie-friendliness and a "ruby in a box" IDE
made me wonder what the dedicated ruby IDEs or text editors with IDE
features out there were (as opposed to ruby plugins for larger,
general-purpose IDEs and editors). So far, the active projects I've
seen are
* Arcadia [http://arcadia.rubyforge.org/]
* Redcar [http://redcareditor.com/]
Others?

There's always Komodo, which has been supporting Ruby since 2004.
The advantage of a multi-language IDE is that it stays up to date --
I'm
adding CoffeeScript support to it right now, answering this question
during
a compile.
... which is over. Time to test it.

I will have in released in the next week or so the beginnings of Try Ruby
offline.
It isn't geared towards professionals, but rather beginners.
The idea is to put a repl + embedded ruby 1.9.2 interpreter into a simple to
run executable for windows mac and linux.
I'll make an announcement about it when I can show the code and show
something that runs.

This is a very worthwhile project, and I think it will be extremely useful.
I would hesitate to call it an IDE, though, as from your description it doesn't appear to include any kind of editor. Thus while it's extremely useful for experimenting with Ruby (hence the name), it's not going to be ideal for helping newbies learn to write programs in Ruby.
Is there any chance you might want to push this project a bit further and include a basic editor?

Include interactive_editor with a default editor on the system and it
suddenly has a text editor -- without having to bundle the text editor
with the Ruby package. Even better, because the text editor is not tied
to the IDE except by way of interactive_editor, the user can swap out the
default editor for another.

Is this something a newbie can understand and use effectively? (That's not a rhetorical question, I really don't know what the answer might be.)
I think that, if it's set up automatically, it'll be easier for the
newbie to grasp than the concept of a REPL itself. It's also easily
ignorable if the user just wants to play around in the REPL without an
editor.
