Having more than one tool in your pocket is very beneficial, and Ruby/ RoR are great tools to have. I have done a lot of .NET development in the past (and I did enjoy it) but have been doing mostly RoR for the past year.
I won't say that I will never do a .NET project again. In some cases, a client may not be willing to change their infrastructure and may only be willing to support Windows/IIS/SQL Server. I've turned down projects where the client was entrenched in non-agile processes, but I wouldn't turn a client down based on the technology they wanted to use.
