a few things RubyMine needs Follow
1st of all, probably 70% of your target audience runs OS X. So you need to make RubyMine (and IJ) act more like an OS X app.
This means by default CMD-w closes the current window. CMD-{ and CMD-} moves to next/prev tabs. CMD-` switches windows (and preferably there aren't any modals for preferences)
It also needs an integrated IRB console. And one with auto-completeion would be awesome (no one does this).
And on the innovative side, if I were you guys, I'd do a partnership with New Relic and build some of their functionality directly in to IJ so you can profile a rails app. Check out newrelic.com

one other thing, the file picker should probably default to the user's home dir on OS X. And it's clunky, seems really slow on OS X
Phil,
It sounds reasonable, thanks! IRB console is in our plans - track and vote issue http://www.jetbrains.net/jira/browse/RUBY-235. Also in next versions we will bundle more convenient MacOS keymap.
