I agree. I tried web development professionally; loved Ruby, thought Rails was pretty decent, but hated web development (and ultimately wasn't at all inspired by the product we were building). Now every Ruby meetup I attend, 99% of the presentations are from web devs about rails and associated infrastructure.

Now every Ruby meetup I attend, 99% of the presentations are from web devs about rails and associated infrastructure. That's pretty much why I lost interest in not just local groups but most online activity. I use Ruby and JRuby all the time, but for Web dev I'll start with some simple Rack stuff and evolve to a Ramaze app if needed. Listening to someone discuss installation and assorted config params for a gem that only works with a specific framework is not terribly interesting. There are some bright spots online, Greg Brown's Practicing Ruby site being a solid example. https://practicingruby.com https://practicingruby.com
