Depends on your definition of IDE. If it is 'big' then afaik, no. Nothing cocoa. Eclipse runs in java and so looks pretty close to native and the rubyeclipse plug-in mentioned by Otaku is handy and free, however some bits of eclipse do feel a bit non-mac. If your desire is more limited to text-editor+ then TextMate (39) http://macromates.com/ is pretty handy, and appears to have been written with ruby and rails top of mind. If your desire is even more limited, then SubEthaEdit (free for non commercial) is very clean - http://www.codingmonkeys.de/subethaedit/ If you want something that will allow you to develop native Mac OS X guis, then you can use Mac's XCode together with rubycocoa (http://www.fobj.com/rubycocoa/) to draw them. As an aside, I have occasionally tinkered with the idea of writing a 'big' native IDE in rubycocoa. I don't think it would be too hard given cocoa's handy toolbox of components. If anyone is interested in collaborating on one, or feels a big need for such a thing, then let me know.
