It's worked out well for me. I started picking it up almost 2 years ago and I make more than I ever did before. Where I work we are always advertising for Senior Rails Devs.
There are plenty of stable companies out there running Rails apps and I'd venture a guess that a lot of start-ups probably still use it as it's great for small teams and rapid-prototyping.
On a side note, we also have hired devs who don't have Ruby experience but who are generally smart, experienced people, who know more than one programming language and are willing to learn whatever stack they need to for getting the job done.
