Define "heavy web development". I actually don't like Rails for special tasks
like pure apis, callback sites, upload locations etc. Then again, I'm biased:
I hack on Padrino.

I'd actually use Rails for "simple sites": its easy to start with, 
and small multi-page applications are written very quickly using it. 
Performance is ok. Helpers are in place to do a bit of ajaxy stuff. No reason
to pick your stack.
