  Now now, I know you're joking, but the non-rails community is perhaps larger than you think. They just tend to be less noisy. Particularly in Japan, there is a huge number of people who use Ruby primarily for scripting - as in, traditional scripting, automating system tasks and the like. I personally know at least half a dozen or so "pure rubyists" like this. The number of people who use Ruby who have never even touched Rails is probably quite low - who wouldn't want to try out the hot new thing? - but heaps of Ruby users are not primarily there to use Rails. Funny thing is, I generally prefer Rails users' code. Rails enforces such a strong MVC structure that one can't help but write decently organised code, IMO, and the habit sticks. People who came at Ruby from scripting tend to just write "whatever works" and you know how that turns out.
