Any comments about WxRuby?

I'm starting to develop in Ruby using WxRuby. Any comments about it? the only problem so far is that the documentation is not very complete, but its seems great

Well All i have to say is... THAT ITS MY FAVORITE GUI TOOL KIT!!.

P.S. I lied I have more to say. if your gonna make a program I recommend that You Use Visual Wx (http://visualwx.altervista.org/)
its kinda like Visual studios, but works with Wx Ruby, Wx Perl, Wx Python, and Wx Widgets(thats the C++ thingy)
The only problem that I came across (but quickly solved) was that it uses more than one file, and no compiler.
I solved that problem with tar2rubyscript.rb, rubyscript2exe.rb, and resource hacker(which isnt really a hack tool, it allows you change the embeded icon)
and to get more information about tar2rubyscript.rb and rubyscript2exe.rb just go here (http://s14.invisionfree.com/Ruby_R_US/index.php?showforum=28)

Me too, I love wxRuby (in a non gay way) and I use Visual Wx now. When I started I just used code and since Springbov pointed Visual Wx out to me I use it alot.
I would give it 10/10. Maybe 11/10.

p.s. I just realized this was my first post! Ah, who cares!

the only problem I saw with wxRuby is that when I was looking at it (~3 months ago) they were re-designing it around SWIG. And no concrete ruby classes like WX::Object exist yet in Ruby code.

...so I kinda couldn't figure out some things I wanted to do at the time.

BUT, it has ok documentation and yes Visual Wx is nice...if you like the VB typeof thing :/.

I use VisualWx to create the GUI and then take the code out and work on it from there. I think VisualWx is only good for the GUI because it deletes any additional code you enter afterwards.
I heard there are some better Ruby GUI Toolkits but I just worried that I have to learn the unique syntax of the toolkit. So for now, I still with wxRuby.
