I actually love it for small scripts (not more than a couple hundred lines), including small web services and such. Much more pleasant than Python (though Python handles growing beyond a couple hundred lines way better than Ruby does)

I really like a few of its smaller libraries. Just not Rails.

Sure, it's probably great for small projects.

I worked for a company who had kept adding to their Ruby codebase for 10+ years, reaching about 50k files. At that point it becomes an unmanageable mess.
