I've used Ruby since 2005, and I've disliked Rails pretty much from day one, and really wish the two were not so intertwined. At the same time I've used Ruby professionally almost as long while only rarely needing to touch Rails so I disagree it loses its usefulness though Rails fading from popularity certainly has an effect.

I did not mean that Ruby isn't useful without Rails.

But I do see the fading popularity of Rails (and therefore) Ruby to start affecting its usefulness. Less libraries, fewer bindings, abandoned libs and fewer hosting options.
