Hey there, I'll take a shot:

1. Fantastic backtraces
2. Super well tested via RubySpec
3. Ultra responsive dev team
4. Modern garbage collection
5. Beautiful source code, much of it in Ruby!
6. Easy to get involved (open commit bit)
7. Good performance, occasionally great, improving very quickly
8. Native threads
9. GIL elimination work in progress, excellent threaded performance in the future
10. First class Windows support work in progress

JRuby shares these benefits, except #9, because it's doesn't have a GIL and already has terrific multi-threaded performance! :-)
