SlickEdit is a heavy duty, commercial, crossplatform, multi-language  
editor and IDE that has some Ruby support, but that support needs  
further attention. If the SlickEdit developers gave Ruby the attention  
they give other languages, SlickEdit could become the TextMate  
alternative for Windows, Linux and even Mac OS X. It probably already  
outguns TextMate for Java or C#, for example (I’m not a Mac user)

To encourage this I’ve set up a poll :
