I have tried Eclipse, Aptana, Redcar, Textedit, Komodo Edit, Titanium, Netbeans, and Vim. Is there anything you can think of that i'm missing? None of these really satisfy me.

I think the question here is what are you looking on an IDE? what must they have for you to like it? In particular, I use Vim with this https://github.com/joseicosta/janus-tweaks. This provides me all I want, and with the lightness inherent to vim.

TextMate is a popular "IDE" that runs on OS X only. It costs $$, but well worth it.

What the hell man! How is TextMate not a rails IDE? You can run tests, run generators, integrate git, just about anything vim or emacs does. Thanks for my first downvotes ever, ingrates. – simianarmy Jul 06 '11 at 18:07

1I think the down votes are probably because it doesn't answer the question. The OP specifically asks for free. – coneybeare Jul 23 '11 at 06:13
