RadRails

I decided I would try downloading the latest milestone version of Eclipse 3.2M4 and set up an IDE without all the Java development tools and just the RDT (Ruby Development Tools) that would start up faster and let me do some Rails development with less clutter. Then somehow I stumbled upon the RadRails Eclipse plugin (gotta love surfing the web). So far it seems really quite good. I can run the WEBrick server, view my PostgreSQL database, hit the web application all within Eclipse! And it also gives me a colour coded RHTML editor and better code completion than RDT. I even just subscribed to their Podcast. I haven't used it extensively yet but so far I'm quite impressed.
