Yeah, I could have worded that better. The OP said:
Why people still use Ruby?
2. Because they do not want to learn new languages and can stay in their comfort zone
Which implies that a reason people are "still" using ruby is that they are too lazy to switch to one of the new, "better" languages or frameworks. I was just trying to point out, maybe they haven't identified that there's a better language or framework yet? I am not aware of any obviously superior alternative and if I found one, of course I'd start learning about it.
75% was a wild-ass guess which I nonetheless believe is pretty much right. But maybe it's 50%. Who knows. The point was, rails devs are not solely working to maintain "rusty slow legacy systems".

Couldn't have said it better myself.
