Aptana Studio also comes with great editors for other Rails project files, such as HTML, CSS, and YAML.

My only gripe with Aptana is that it isn't more lightweight. It (and other Java based IDE's) can be very slow to start up.

Trying vim is not enough to experience what it can do. With vim, there's a long learning tunnel, a steep slope, but there's light at the end of it.

Eclipse 3.4 with the RadRails plugin. I think it works better then the standalone RadRails 1.2 right now. I'm guessing when 1.3 comes out I will need to look at the standalone application again.
How to get it to work: http://forums.aptana.com/viewtopic.php?p=21964#p21857
Add http://update.aptana.com/update/studio/3.2/ to the list of plugin repositories and install "Aptana Web Development Tools".
"Reboot" Eclipse.
After some time, the Aptana Start Page will show up (or you can start it from the Help menue). From this page you can add and install Aptana RadRails 1.0.2.

I like Textmate in Mac, and E in Windows ( textmate clone ). Aptana is a really good IDE also, but I find that it's heavy and can become sluggish after a while.

Surprisingly I like using a few Windows Command Prompts, Explorer, and many Scite instances (with a custom configuration). Not really an IDE but I've found it more flexible and useful than any other IDE that I've tried.

Komodo IDE is pretty good, but the opensource Edit will do just fine for most.

Ruby In Steel For IronRuby I haven't used it myself... (A plugin for Visual Studio I believe)

I like Komodo for PHP and Python development but its support for Ruby is pretty thin. I've only recently started working with Rails and Komodo has been disappointing. I'm giving Aptana a try based on the accepted answer.
