Your comment is spot on. I'm a Django fan, but there are more jobs asking for RoR experience and way more asking for PHP and even .NET experience. The PHP and .NET tend to be less "sexy" jobs, but nonetheless are salaried jobs with benefits so they might be very ideal depending on where a person is at in their life.

Replying to your comment in addition to upvoting felt necessary because it often seems like on Hacker News that less than 1% use anything other than the latest tech. That is not true.
