So do good (non-IDE) editors like TextMate or KomodoEdit.

Please don't mislead people about the features of editors.

Have you ever seen an IDE that actually does this effectively for Ruby?
I have not.  The Ruby Refactoring Browser for Eclipse never seems to
work (unless there's been a recent upgrade that I missed).

If refactoring tools were out there, this would be a big win.  But they
aren't, are they?

apidock.com is probably the ugliest and most confusing docs site I've
seen.  Have you tried http://www.railsapi.com ?
