I have been using RadRails and even though I like the new debugging  
features, the syntax highliting and ‘intellisense’ leave a lot to be  
desired. Hopefully Aptana will continue to but out releases.

Ben, I hate to add to the cornucopia of Ruby IDEs, but an important one  
will be available soon.

CodeGear’s ([http://www.codegear.com/](http://www.codegear.com/)) working really hard on an IDE. It  
it is in field testing right now. IMO, CodeGear’s building an  
intuitive, innovative tool for the Ruby/Rails community and it should be  
remembered although it isn’t available to the public just yet.

Huw C. also built “Ruby In Steel”, a Ruby/Rails plug-in for  
Visual Studio. You can find it here: [http://www.sapphiresteel.com/](http://www.sapphiresteel.com/).  
It might need adding to the survey.
