Ubuntu is a far better option for RoR development.
- apt-get is far better than homebrew
- many things just work better in linux land (especially if you are into emacs and the like).
- development on a system more closely resembling production
the only thing OSX does better (for RoR) is development with GUI programs and fonts... which most ubuntu-friendly developers are willing to do without.
