Eclipse as a Ruby on Rails IDE

After using jEdit for a few months, I'm switching to Eclipse 3.1. The IDE is more future-proof (i.e., can handle everything from Laszlo to DB design) and the Ruby Development Tool (RDT) plug-in just hit version 0.6.

A great Rails on Eclipse (Windows) tutorial by Brian Hogan can be found here. And some enterprising Rails folks have started RadRails, a customized IDE that builds off Eclipse + RDT.
