I use Eclipse with the RDT Ruby plugin: http://rubyeclipse.sourceforge.net/   I use Eclipse for other languages, have a lot of plugins which make my life simpler and of course it's all free. :) The RDT plugin has support for integrated debugging, code completion, code formatting, syntax coloring, Test::Unit integration, runs IRB as an external tool and all the usual things that come with a decent ide plus with the Subclipse plugin, I get subversion integration.

about debugging

- PP is your friend. Every time I need to print debug info from inside a program, I use pp rather than puts. I use pretty large data structure and without pp I would be lost.

I found this on using Breakpoint http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoDebugWithBreakpoint . It's from
using it in a Rails context but it may be useful

There have only been a few times where having a graphical way to dig
through a data structure helped any more than simply using Emacs &
breakpoint.
