Differences between ASP.NET MVC and Ruby on Rails?

The title really says it all. Does anyone have any professional experience with both of them? I am starting to get pretty good with ASP.NET MVC, but would like to have a "free" backup programming language.

I know they are both based on MVC, but am curious as to any significant differences you might have run across.

While both are OSS, the RoR community has been active for longer than the ASP.NET MVC community. Lots and lots of very handy add-ons and such out there. For instance, MSFT is pushing NuGet because Ruby Gems is so successful. I'd say 80% of MVC is stuff that already exists in RoR. There's definitely innovation in MVC (I use it daily as well) but RoR was first and has a huge lead in add-ons, etc.
