I think that an opinionated framework like Rails will be around for a long time.

Technology has its fads, but somethings stick around. There are plenty of people still coding in C. Laravel is a pretty big PHP framework.

There are plenty of companies that built on Rails. The cost of switching to a new technology is likely unfeasible. So likely the product/company will continue to use Rails.

So if you like Ruby/Rails, I say go for it!

Of course, as there is no real-world alternative to C for some applications. The famous Linus Torvalds rant on C++ still rings true today.
