jquery
How jQuery works. I've invested a lot of time in Prototype.js, but jQuery sure looks sweet, quite a few big wins over prototype.js.
sortable list
A very neat plugin sortable_list that lets you sort your lists easily. I've had to do this by hand quite a bit, I'll have to check this plugin out.
integration testing
Wow, I'm a total convert to Integration Testing in Ruby on Rails now. It's so powerful and very cool. I've been unit testing for about a year now, but just graduated to functional and integration testing, and it's amazing, especially integration testing, which simulates a person with a web-browser interacting with your application.
assert_select
trawlr.com has a good writeup about assert_select with nice descriptions of some more complicated situations.

Orchive
I'm also using the excellent Yahoo Grids CSS for doing the layout. Wow, after so long of doing all that CSS layout by hand, using YUI Grids/Fonts/Reset CSS is just so much better.
They solve so many problems for you, problems most of us don't even know exist, and I for one am using YUI CSS in all my new projects.
