"Ruby on Rails is a popular and powerful open source web framework for rapidly creating high-quality web applications to help you keep up with the speed of the Web. Rails is thriving on Mac OS X, and Leopard comes pre-installed with Ruby, Rails, Mongrel, Capistrano, Subversion, and other tools that help to streamline the development and deployment of Rails applications. This article gives you a full tour of Ruby on Rails 2.0 on Leopard - starting with building a web application using the latest Rails features with Xcode 3.0, and finishing with deploying the application to a production server running Leopard Server."

I didn't know that, I shouldnt have used absolutes like that without checking it out. What I should have said is that OSX is home to the majority of the RoR community.
And for me the best development platform is Linux of course.
Thats better then rails on Windows, where your best bet for a ruby app server is IIS with FCGI ;-) The big reason everyone loves developing ruby on the mac is due to the killer text editor TextMate, which imo has no match on any other platform.

The entire RoR core team uses OSX and TextMate, which is a phenomenal editor.
I've been a UltraEdit guy for years now, but E-TextEditor got me to switch, and E is basically just an attempt to do TextMate on windows.
