Emacs + emacs-rails or rails.el . Works on Mac OS, Win32, Linux etc (cross-platform). Supports “smart typing”, code completion, project navigation (screencast of emacs-rails in action)

Development enviroment based on emacs. See HowToUseEmacsWithRails.
Development Tools for Windows
Eclipse with RDT

Brian Hogan wrote a great setup-documentation at http://www.napcs.com/howto/railsonwindows.html
Some comments on using Brian’s setup process for Rails on Eclipse:

1. It’s well worth the effort – you get to code rhtml, ruby, create projects, generate scaffolds, controllers etc, view and edit your MySQL database and more all in a single IDE. 2. Brian frequently updates this based on feedback provided by end users. Much of this functionality is being provided by radrails at http://radrails.org. You can integrate it into Eclipse or run it as stand alone. I prefer the integration as stand alone takes away many of the eclipse options. Here is the update site for Eclipse: http://download.radrails.org/update
