Equally is a tricky word.  No.  Some definitely have more features, or are 
more flexible, or are easier to setup than others.

My preference is for IOWA.  It is what I do nearly all of my web work with, 
and it's the project I choose to develop.  It fits well with how I think and 
work and with the way I want my software to function.  We also have a small, 
but friendly and growing user community.  Drop in on freenode.net, on the 
IRC channel #IOWA if you want to chat with a few other users.

Rails is another very fine choice, though.  There are a lot of people who 
are finding a lot of enjoyment and success with it.  It has an energetic and 
welcoming community that will readily help you to get going with it.  They 
hang out on freenode.net on the #rubyonrails channel, and there is almost 
always activity there.

Arrow and Nitro are two other frameworks with growing communities of users 
and support.  All of these offer at least some of the elements that you are 
interested in, though none offer all of them.


Good luck,
