To be honest, it’s all about preference. Personally, I like Ruby as a language and the Rails framework compliments it very well. I know of many companies on the East Coast that are actively looking for Ruby developers.
The community for Ruby is very active, passionate and nice. I know of a few developers that have done the switch from .NET to Ruby and they couldn’t be happier.
I’m not saying .NET is bad or anything of that sort. Maybe someone else can give you their insight on .NET area.
One piece of advice is that you shouldn’t just stick to one specific language or framework. Rails is just one of many frameworks that Ruby has to offer. Look into Sinatra and Padrino. Also, it’s always good to learn about different languages as you can compliment your knowledge. Erlang, Scala, and Javascript are very interesting languages that you should take your time to look into.
Hope this helps!
