It works well. Those who use it seem to love it. Why does popularity matter?
The comparison is quit interesting and encouraging! When I looked into a Job site over here in Pakistan, I found 0 jobs of Ruby on Rails! And that was horrifying!
I can tell you how popular it is by saying this:
Django, Symfony, Spring
Who?
You mean RoR nowhere?

No, he means he's never heard of those three.
I don't know how far jobs have penetrated in Pakistan but Obie Fernandez posted some metrics on his blog about the rise of Rails. Check:

Remember we all start somewhere. If you are looking to expand your skill set, Rails seems like a wise bet for the future. If you need to work today, you are more likely to find Java or PHP jobs unless you are a cutting edge consultancy.
I would say that RoR is very popular. I have heard about websites converting over to RoR almost on a daily basis and infact it is a thread that is discussed very often on this forum. In my opinion, RoR is so powerful because one man can build the same quality app that three or four people can but in half the time. Plus, Ruby is such a powerful language and also fun to work with. I have programmed in Java, VB, C#, C++, Perl, and PHP and Ruby has the best parts of all these language bundled into one language.

Thanks Bill! The Pakistani market responds slowly to the upcoming technologies because most of the work being outsourced is in PHP or Java or least under the .NET but still I found some job postings on http://www.rozee.pk earlier but they were few in comparison to other jobs. I'm myself working on a large open source RoR application and enjoying it really!
Working on vim is fine but anyone tried the NetBeans IDE 6.0 with Ruby and Rails support? That's really great for the newbies as I was!
Regards, Mohsin
Netbeans 6.0 is working well for ROR development

Hi Tom,
Not sure there can be an objective answer to your question/query but there are a number of people working with RubyOnRails and Ruby. They range from open-source hackers to large fortune-500 conglomerates. Most people who use it, like it, some even love it and some even hate it (most redundant thing i've said all day!).
Are you looking for marketing FUD about Rails? Check out the railsenvy.com videos.
Cheers, Aditya
