You gave only two choices :)

Difficult to tell. I think ruby-gtk has a slight advantage in this regard over FXRuby.
> * Which one is easier?
Cant really say. My personal feeling is that FXRuby is easier because Gtk/gnome really is somewhat large. But then again, both are rather easy once you understood how signals work.

That is somewhat impossible to answer. :/
In general I think it is better to just work and not bother which one is more "rubyish". Both are actively maintained, it does not so much matter which one you use IMHO. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi,
I've had very good results with WxRuby http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/; It didn't take long to learn, is NOT very rubyish (basically the C++ APIs are reimplemented in Ruby), but was very useful for cross-platform development. So you might want to consider that as a third option.

That page also mentions wxSugar; a "sweeter, more Ruby-ish API".

I've never seen any statistics on this. I suspect that there aren't all that many Ruby GUI applications.

I think Shoes is probably the easiest to use.

They are pretty much all derived from C/C++ toolkits except Ruby/Tk, which is derived from Perl/Tk, which in turn is derived from Tcl/Tk. I think Shoes is probably the most "Rubyish" of the bunch. Certainly wxRuby, QtRuby, FXruby and Ruby-GTK are all layered on top of C/C++ libraries.
Both are OK, but it depends on what application you want to write (e.g. FXRuby has table widget, GTK does not, GTK can do html widget, not sure about FXRuby)...

and Tk has a nice Canvas...
(GTK really doesn't have a Table?)

Since we're already mentioning other alternatives:
I've had some experience with JRuby + SWT and I must say it is the most friendly and productive GUI toolkit I've used.
I'm comparing it to Ruby-GTK, JRuby + Swing, JRuby + AWT, JRuby + Glimmer, Java + AWT, Java + Swing, and Java + SWT :)
I'm currently working with JRuby + SWT + JFace and it looks even better. We have started a project using Eclipse RCP with most of the business logic written in JRuby. Looks great so far (5 weeks into the project).
Well, one can simulate one using tree-view and list store, but the last time I needed table header for each line, I had to link movement of 2 tree-views. It is not really a table/spread-sheet widget (unless there is one in the works in the new gtk version)...
