"supposed to be unstable on Win32"
Maybe. But I used to run my own Ruby-GNOME2 IRC client
on Windows just fine. Once in a while you may find a
bug (not really related to Windows), but if it's
reproducible, it's fixable :)
"requires large download on Win32 machines"
That's the major drawback. I haven't tested something
to shrink the package size yet.
"X-ish interface"
The Wimp engine does a good job at making your app
have a native appearance.
On the pro side:
You can compile the latest version of Ruby-GTK+2 from
the CVS on Windows by following the tutorial at
http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?compile_mingw.
This way you can keep up with fixed bugs if you want.
The project Ruby-GNOME2 has a more fine-grained
control over its source-code, because it does not use
SWIG.
IMHO, it seems inevitable the progress of GTK+ on
Windows.
Cheers,
Joao
