You can write Ruby scripts in any text editor you like. Scite is preferred over regular Notepad because it has a syntax highlighting. But that feature is available for almost any other text editor too like Notepad++, Notepad2, Netbeans, Eclipse and so on. There are many different editors and IDE-s suitable for Ruby programming. You could ask about Ruby development tools from the Ruby mailing list directly [1].
If i'm not mistaken then Scite is not shipped with newer Ruby installers anymore.
