I'm a Ruby developer with a few years of experience with PHP. PHP is not a normal programming language. Its first iteration was a set of Perl scripts and it was never meant to grow outside the scope of web development.
Ruby and Python are better suited for growing beyond the web and into great areas.
In my entourage I believe Ruby is more of a startup language and Python more of an entreprise language. Though both see their fair share of use in both.
