Yeah. I have been subject to the Rails hype myself and I have found myself naturally resistant to it. I have the feeling that Rails is now at the position that Zope was a few years ago. A lot of excitement, craziness and hype until reality sets in. Anyway, don't get me wrong. Rails is probably the opposite of Zope in many ways, although at the same time it face some of the same issues that Zope does... memory leaks, upgrading pains... it's all there, just read this list. Rails is probably worth evaluating, I just haven't really felt the need given that I've been very happy with Ruby. Cheers, Navin.
