I tend to agree. After doing a couple of projects using Rails I am
getting to really like it and feel that it helps me use my time more
productively. But I must say honestly I don't think it's 100% ready for
prime time in terms of larger scale deployments. In my opinion I think
it needs another year or so of development and usage under its belt.
It's like if I was going to pitch Linux as the be-all-end-all back when
I first started using it back in 1997 at the 2.0.34 kernel level. With
the distro packages available for it at the time it's not like I was
going to throw a new mySQL database out there for heavy CRUD
transactional loads and end up replacing our Oracle 7.3 server. Give it
time.

Now Ruby, on the other hand, is definitely ready for prime time. That's
why I love seeing it catch on and folks getting to appreciate all it
delivers...
