I definitely see an increase over the past several years. Pretty much can't help it with something new, unless it sucks horribly (and doesn't have huge marketing muscle or government requirements behind it). Will it stick around, is another question. Another framework could some along that would make RoR look horrible by comparison. Rails 3 could suck horribly. (Though even then, we'd still have Rails 2 to use.) My crystal ball is in the shop. I'm sure hoping it sticks around, though. I kinda missed the boat with Java -- learned it in about 1998 or so, but didn't row hard enough to get much work in it. Now it seems like 95% of the openings are in Java, but I don't have the several years of experience most of them demand, while kids who will work for half my salary are coming out of school with at least solid training. I don't want to miss the boat with Ruby, either by my not rowing hard enough to catch it, or by it sinking.
