There are 20-30 ruby conferences every year in the US alone. I've been to about 7. They all had > 200 attendees. Even the less-known ones tend to sell out well in advance.
Freelance rates for ruby developers are crazy-high. In Seattle, at least, I'm seeing $200/hr as not uncommon.
And on a side note, PHP has been around for about 80 years now and it's still moving along.
So I don't think ruby/rails are going to "die" any time soon.
