I'm pretty sure Rails was game changing.

  Maybe in the way it's encouraged other web frameworks to adopt MVC, but that's not a huge deal. MVC has been around for a long time anyhow.

    It did bring Ruby into the mainstream.

    It didn't change the whole world just a little bit (which is what most people mean by "change the world"); it changed one tiny segment of the world—webapp programming—a lot. I think that's even more laudable.

  Lisp was gamechanging, C was gamechanging, maybe fortran was gamechanging. Rails is just a framework, albeit a popular one. Let's see if people still use it in five years, or if they have moved onto the new new thing.
