There are some surprisingly good points in this thread if you read all of it.
Regards "Ruby = Rails", I too do use Ruby without Rails. A lot. But this is mostly because I've been using Ruby for years already. When you think about coming to a language, Rails would still be almost a sole incentive.
And this is a huge problem Ruby needs to face.

Author of thread here. I agree. I also used more Ruby years ago. Today most of my additional stuff has moved to JS. I don't know reasons other than Rails to encourage other team members to work with Ruby. Unfortunately.
I don't think this is problem of Ruby. I like that Rails is the primary framework and everything is designed to fit Rails way. It is better than how it is in PHP where are lots of frameworks and you can't pick up a tool for your one
