I'm a .NET dev who's getting started on ROR. I decided to just skip the whole 'fancy text editor' and go for an IDE -- RubyMine. So far I've been very impressed with it. I now think that it's better than VisualStudio. I wouldn't want to tackle anything but a small project without an IDE. Refactoring, quote completion, tabbed interface, these are good things. I think that your fingers have only so many miles in them. Plus, cripes it's cheap: $35 if you buy before the 23rd I think. You should check on that end date.
I think it's odd when developers build things that are very specific to what they do (e.g. any web page) but they want a super generic tool for building it.
