Also, for test deployment - HostingRails.com is giving away free Rails hosting at the moment. But for large apps I'd recommend DreamHost (w/ promo code X50) or Site5 if apache/mysql is your gig, or TextDrive if you're down with LightTpd/PostgreSQL.
Who's using Rails? Check out the Rails wiki site for hundreds of example sites
And if you want a free cPanel/SSH account to download the new Rails version in to see what the craziness is all about - check out www.HostingRails.com
I think its safe to say that Ruby on Rails is the fastest growing Web 2.0-friendly framework - and for good reason. I mean c'mon - the average developer can pick up a few Rails tutorials and have a working demo app (w/ CRUD scaffold action and such) on their local box in a few minutes. Throw in some easily-incorporated Prototype and Scriptaculous effects, and this developer is the new cool kid on the block.
