Which operating system are you using?

You can right click the ruby files and 'Open with Sublime Text 2'

With textmate you can launch the GUI of textmate using the mate command. With sublime text there's the subl command.

I use Sublime Text for Ruby myself, and haven't had any issues. It shouldn't make a difference.

I have never used Text Mate, but I have used Sublime 2 and am now using Sublime 3 (http://www.sublimetext.com/3) with Ruby and it works fantastic.
