Good Java IDEs exist because the language (and tools like Ant) is so clumsy that you need an IDE to automate lots of stuff for you. An IDE for Ruby would be pointless, because the language and build tools are so concise and powerful. > Look at Google Web Toolkit.

I'd seriously consider GWT for the frontend (and Rails for the backend) if I were doing Ajax -- but then I'd put JRuby on top of the GWT libraries.
