Their RoR stack might have gone out of fashion but it seems like they consistently made the right decisions considering a lot of their customers rely on the Shopify platform for their livelihoods and not just to express their opinions in 140 characters.

It seems that both Adyen and Brainsomething processed over 50B last year whereas Stripe didn't.
Stripe didn't publish numbers (I'd dare saying because they are very small and that would scare big companies away), but the valuation at 5 Billion dollars indicates that they are less than 1/10th of the aforementioned providers.

If a single company can be as much as 1% of an entire payment provider, they gotta be quite small, right? Well, that's what I think every day when I see news about them :D
