I was a Rails dev for the past 7 years, switched to a React position a couple months ago.

There was a lot of hand wringing a few years back that Rails was quickly losing popularity, but gauging by my recent time on the job market it is still very hot. It seems like I had just as many recruiters contacting me for Rails positions as they did React. I somewhat suspect this is because many people transitioned to other things and it's harder to find experienced devs.

As many others have stated it's a mature ecosystem and there's plenty of great learning material out there.

But job market varies in every market. Rails aren't seen much anymore in EU, SEA Tech Hub and China, No idea on Canada or AUS. Japan seems to use Ruby much more in non Rails application.
