This is something I've been wondering for a bit.

If you were to write a successful site/app, would writing it in rails give you and advantage, say for getting the app noticed开发者_开发知识库, as opposed to writing it in PHP etc?

Do people/companies who write in ruby/rails actively promote that their site/app is written in rails so it gets more publicity/hype?

Appreciate any feedback/POV's.

Not much. People don't look under the covers. The advantage is that you can build it faster and change it faster, which means you get to market faster.

Though some companies mention that the app runs on Rails or built in NYC, regular users, as a rule, do not care what the app they are using is built upon. But if you plan to eventually sell it or draw the investments, the trendy technology will certainly give you some bonus points.
