Considering that you came here to ask this question, I'm going to
assume that you're looking for validation of your desire to use Ruby
on Rails more than anything. So here it comes:

Yes. Ruby on Rails will deliver the productivity, ease of learning,
and "application strength" you desire.

Since you should be in amble position to evaluate the first two
personally, I'll offer a few URLs to convince you of the last:

http://www.basecamphq.com/
http://www.backpackit.com/
http://www.43things.com/
http://www.43places.com/
http://www.odeo.com/
http://www.strongspace.com/

The sites all fall within the category of your references and they're
made with Ruby on Rails. Many of them do more than 400K pageviews per
day. I know at least one of them is nearing one million.
