GitHub and GitLab use Rails. Many UK government websites do.
Like anything else, Rails is good for some things & terrible at others. Rails tries to minimize developer time, at the cost of computing time (Ruby is not a fast language), and focuses on CRUD-type applications. Whether or not that's a good match depends on what you're trying to do.

I saw this as a sign that the time of these fully fledged frameworks was over and devs were craving modularity. But, yes, I saw a bunch of recent projects done with Rails. Forem is built with it, for example.
