Bill:

If you''re interested in Eclipse and RDT, I might suggest the setup I
use
in my development. I find it much more useful than RadRails*** but you
have to build it yourself. (I do provide downloadable configuration
files and templates to speed up the process.

*** RadRails http://www.radrails.org is coming along nicely though.

I''m using Eclipse with Ruby Development Tools. I don''t tend to
use the
debugger very often, but it does work. The unit testing facilities are
fine.
And there''s the extensibility of Eclipse (for example, I use the vi
plug-in).

In fact, I''ve gone off the Rails for a bit to play around with Eclipse
plug-in development.
