Why don't you just use Sublime Text 2 Text Editor, it is free and cross platform and lighter than any IDE, and then you can install the SublimeCodeIntel which will provide you with autocomplete features , you can do that through installing Package Control , then

 ⌘+shift+p → “install” → ENTER → “codeintel” → ENTER → Restart ST2

It is working perfectly with me and I'm totally in love with this smart editor .

You can find this helpful somehow if you wanna give it a try , http://www.rockettheme.com/magazine/1319-using-sublime-text-2-for-development

I'm using it with zsh Terminal http://stevelosh.com/blog/2010/02/my-extravagant-zsh-prompt/

Anyways if you are looking for a full IDE give netbeans a try http://netbeans.org/projects/ruby/
