TextMate for Windows (ish).
For those of us in the not cool enough for school camp and developing Ruby apps on Windows, try http://e-texteditor.com/ a TextMate clone for Windows. It uses TextMate bundles directly, so you get lots of goodies. It also installs cygwin automatically if you need to.
Not free, but a 30 day trial.
Will update with experiences.
I installed this today. I ran into problems loading a large (75K) single line XML document. I ran it through a pretty printer that introduced linebreaks and e-texteditor handled it fine. Also it had problems locating my ruby installation as related to this error:
/usr/bin/ruby: no such file to load — ubygems (LoadError)
Otherwise it is a nice editor although I am not sure I will be interested in it beyond the 30 day trial.

I installed it primarily for RoR development. I had to unset RUBYOPT in cygwin t make it not throwing error like Peter indicated. The snippets work fine. But the feature I want the most - RSpec bundle doesn’t work at all. I may do some more research o this.

Yes, create a
/etc/profile.d/ruby.shfile with the lineunset RUBYOPTSAlso, install cygwin yourself beforehand with the modules you want (I once got a problematic install of cygwin with Rails and /dev/urandom but I don’t know how to reproduce).
