I haven't run into any.  I just saw it mentioned somewhere on a wiki 
page that it was advised to not install it to a directory with spaces 
since some gems don't like it.

I thought I came with rake for some reason, it doesn't though, so no 
inconsistency there.

So what you're asking is an

At first blush it surprised me to have it differ from jruby.

With jruby, you get jruby.exe, jirb.bat, gem.bat, rake.bat, rdoc.bat, 
ri.bat

After using it a few times I got used to using "igem" instead of the 
normal gem I was used to...

Thanks!
