Been coding in Ruby since 2001 and I've never done Rails while I have 
done only minimal web application programming.
In the last 5 years I code almost exclusively in Ruby mostly building 
tools that build tools, that build tools ad infinitum.
When I started I was the only person using Ruby in my firm and in any of 
my client's firms.
There used to be the Python vs. Ruby question in our ptojects but that 
has stopped being asked  now as there's at least 10 people with 
significant Ruby experience in the firm and we have a whole heap of 
tools and knowledge to fall back on.
So no, I don't see Ruby going away anytime soon.
Cheers,
V.-
