I looked at RoR a long time ago when it was all the hotness. So my opinion may be outdated, but here it is: RoR is really good at making simple CRUD web apps that are backed by a database. But if you want to go much beyond field-based editing of records in web forms, it gets painful in a hurry. It makes the easy things easy, and the hard things much harder. Again, just my (possibly outdated) opinion. I never saw much advantage in ruby over python. And gem and rvm never worked well for me.
