xCode is the Software Development Kit for OSX. It provides the
compliers and necessary headers to successfully build software on a Mac.
The package is about 800Mb last time I looked. An older version can be
found on either the system or application disk that ships with your Mac.
I cannot say whether or not xCode contains any editors but it certainly
is not one itself. Regardless, if you are going to develop in Ruby on a
Mac using native mode gems then the xCode package must be installed.

Once xCode is installed I strongly recommend that you install RVM
(http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/) before doing anything else.
