This is also Ruby's downfall, and until the community can settle down a bit, why Ruby will never be a mainstream language. I enjoy Ruby, I tend to write my scripts in it, and have written a couple Rails sites in my time. But there's probably 1 Ruby job out there for every 300 .NET and Java jobs, maybe even less. Maybe the Ruby community likes this, I dunno. But for me, it means I've never had a chance, and probably never will have a chance, to really use Ruby in a professional environment. And I can't really blame companies, if I had a company I wouldn't use Ruby either. I generally find .NET is a nice compromise between Ruby's ADD and Java's glacial pace, but that's just me.
