Best GUI Framework for Ruby. Not Shoes [closed]

Question

I am trying to settle on a GUI framework for Ruby and I have yet to decide which one I prefer and would like some input. I mainly want to pick the framework with the most support and community involvement. I have shied away from Shoes because the site is down and because I would like some challenge and understanding of what is going on behind the scenes.

I took a look at this post (which is a bit dated so I was hoping for some modern input): Best Ruby GUI Framework

The two frameworks I have looked at are FXRuby and Ruby-GTK2 and I was hoping someone could give some pros and cons to these frameworks or perhaps a recommendation of a GUI framework for Ruby.

Oh and if you do think Shoes is the way to go, please mention that as well.

Thanks!!

Answer 1

Shoes' site isn't 'down' it's been removed (and now relocated) by _why who left the community abruptly in August 2009.

So, my answer: Shoes :)

If you're on Mac OS, try MacRuby. It isn't a GUI toolkit, per se, but it essentially lets you use all of Cocoa from Ruby (it is built on top of CoreFoundation and the Objective-C Runtime). MacRuby is your best bet, if you're willing to develop apps that will only work on Mac OS X.
