I am using both Vim and RubyMine and I strongly recommend RubyMine for anyone starting with Ruby.

Having the possibility to have a Go to definition for almost any method is great and most of the gems have great code comments with a lot of nice examples.

When I teach people to learn Ruby (I do this sometimes) among the first things I do is I explain to them how to open a gem, look at the source code, read it and then try to use it.

I cannot thank enough the maintainers of the most popular gems for doing such a great job in having great ruby code and good in-file documentation.
