I wouldn't be surprised if it does. The conditions are right for it. Agile was gaining popularity even before the economy imploded. Rails, TDD/BDD, and the general tenets of agile are things most in the industry have heard of. The only issue is that any change is a risk and will require time, initially nullifying the time-to-market advantage they would get. Companies are not eager to take risk right now, nor are they thinking about something that will help them only once they adapt. They're in panic mode just trying to make it through the quarter. That said, the benefits might be enough to entice at least some to give it a try.
