I've been having a tough time getting emacs set up properly with ruby which led me to look for a different IDE to use. Which led me to ownder: what editors/IDEs do most ruby users use?

I use gvim. Here's a list of editors with tweaks to get them ruby-aware:

I've been using gvim for the past two months. It's been an interesting
experiment. I used to hate vi, but was somewhat forced into this due to some
very restrictive network access. This turned into a quest to answer the
question "Would I be more productive if I moved the mouse away and focused on
doing everything from the keyboard?" For me the answer, after some learning
curve, has been yes. I think the target audience for vi and clones like gvim
is people that want to keep their hands on the keyboard in order to increase
their productivity.

I'm using the aforementioned jEdit (http://www.jedit.org/\) and Ruby plugin (http://www.jedit.org/ruby/\). (Note, if you go to install the plugin, that it fails to list one dependency in the instructions: ErrorList.)
I've only used it for a week (for that matter, I've only used Ruby for two and a half), but the color highlighting is fine (not perfect - $ in a Regex, __END__ throw it off for example), and the integrated ri is nice, though it fails to mention a given classes superclass and mixins, so I still end up flipping between the IDE and Firefox. There's also a rough autocomplete (shows you whatever's in rdoc, regardless of the owning class), though it rarely does any good. It does, however, do its job of being a text editor with a "project" view to help you edit multiple files at once.
That's not to knock it, Mr. Plugin Creator, wherever you are. It's new, and I still like it.

Windows: SciTE
MacOS X: TextMate (with BBEdit thrown into the mix)

Well... pico, plus grep/sed/awk/... when needed. For ruby, and any other
language. Ok, it's not really an IDE. The good point is I don't use ed 
Vim or Gvim, depending on the situation. Once you know the basics,
nothing else will compare. (except maybe you emacs heretics...)

On Windows I use a non-free editor called Source Insight. I defined my own language definition file and will send it to anyone that is interested. What it offers is a nice symbol database, a overview of each file on the left side of each source window that shows just the symbol definitions in that file (and those can be incrementally searched to get to a function or class definition quickly), and a way to parse output after running a process so that they are linked up to the source line where the error occured or a trace was put out. I also use it for all my C work as well and it works well for that.

As a follow-up on the other people mentioning (g)vim: I think it should be pointed out that you can embed a ruby interpreter in (g)vim and then program the editor with ruby or run ruby code right from within vim.

I personally use FreeRIDE or SciTE when in Windows. On FreeBSD and
Linux I just use a standard text editor like vi or whatever's
available. Question. Have any of y'all used WideStudio? This is a
rather large package available on SourceForge that installs Ruby,
Python, and Perl within its environment. It looks rather promising but
I haven't had time to delve into it...
irb mostly. When I need it to persist, I usually use vim in one
terminal and irb in another. Nothing beats REPL.
