I think the advantage is more Ruby than Rails if you see what I mean.  
Framework wise I feel as productive in one of the perl frameworks as  
I do in Rails. The framework isn't the thing that makes Rails  
attractive to me, it's Ruby.

What Rails did, and what WTR did to a different audience, was  
demonstrate to a whole bunch of people what a really excellent  
language Ruby is.

Cheers,
