That's actually quite good.  Thanks for the URL -- I enjoyed the read.

I had a forehead-smacking moment while reading that, where I realized
that *of course* it's true that after two years of not getting anything
substantially right, there's obviously something else wrong besides
choosing the wrong tool (if it's wrong for that purpose at all, which
does not appear to be a settled matter from where I'm sitting).

Hell, two years should be enough time to get something working in COBOL,
let alone Rails.
