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).
