That's pretty much how I've found it. Ruby works fine on Windows, until you hit a gem version that doesn't build. It usually works all right if you can stay a few Ruby versions behind and carefully pick the gems you use, but it'll likely fall apart if you try to collaborate with anyone using Mac or Linux, updating to the latest Ruby and gems and grabbing any gem they feel like.
Although now, there's WSL on Windows 10. Ruby works great on that for me, every version, every gem. It's kinda like the equivalent of Wine, so it just sits there and doesn't hog resources like a VM.
