I'm gearing up to write a comparative, multi-platform review of Rails IDEs. Before I freeze the list, I'd like to know what other people are using themselves to develop Rails sites.

Currently I'm considering these 8:

Ruby in Steel
Aptana RadRails
Komodo
3rdRail
NetBeans
SciTE
TextMate
jEdit with Ruby plugin

Do you have experience with any of these you'd like to share?

Do you use something else for Rails development?

What are the strengths and weaknesses of the Rails IDEs you use yourself?
