There's also Glade and ruby/libglade, and QT's UI designer.

No as i said there is no GUI Builder for ruby out there, even Arachno
Ruby does not do this.
There is none that is actively maintained and cross-platform.
But if anybody wants to revive this one "FormDesigner for project VisualuRuby":
https://sourceforge.jp/projects/fdvr
for Windows using VisualuRuby.

You can run the UI in 'test mode' as you develop it with Qt Designer. I
haven't used Delphi so I don't know about the comparison.
But i have a very special opinion here, for me even Apples IB is not
integrated into XCode - in contrast to RealBasic.
My personal yardstick for RAD UI designers is Apple's IB, not the Visual
Basic interface even if is it more interactive. You can have RAD for less
expert people with Visual Basic, as well as RAD for the higher end
programmer who can use QtRuby/Korundum or Interface Builder. They will cope
with steep learning curves or whatever if it improves their productivity.
The Qt4 version of Qt Designer looks more like Apple's IB at least..

One of the other threads in here just mentioned WideStudio (http://www.widestudio.org) After a painfully long download I just tried it out. It's very similar to Delphi in some respects. Everything except the integrated editor, which is kind of surprising. It's not nearly as slick or as easy to navigate as Delphi is but it's very intriguing. What it is is a cross-platform windowing toolkit. But, unlike others I've seen it includes a designer that supports the various scripting languages within the designer.
What I can't speak to yet (as I've only tried the Hello example) is the stability and completeness of the product. Also, be aware that it will install a complete(?)/different version of Ruby if you let it!
