since you are new, you are confusing what ruby is and what rails is, you may need an ide for ruby, but not for rails and since rails is ruby is "killer app", almost no one uses an IDE and since the demand is low so is the offer. The thing is rails( which is a web application development framework, while ruby is a programming language) comes with everything you need independent of any ide, so you dont need any IDE, rials kind of is the IDE. Rails can do everything with its commands/scripts, and you dont need and ide for that, just the console/shell, also an ide will give you a file browser but rails already has everything organize , the only reason for using an ide is when you want code completion, but since ruby is dynamic ( you can modify classes during run time) is very hard to implement code completion effectively, and on top of that, the structure of rails is so clean, you wont really need any code completion since you will have instant feedback since the code does not need to "compile". Use a simple text editor that, has a file browser, like textmate, ultra edit or gedit (with plugin), use the console for command and code generators, and refresh your browser for instant feedback. Good luck.
