You might want to give it a shot again - perhaps that was true say 5 years
ago, but that's no longer true. Ruby is not perfect, but can get you really
productive in a short time. The same philosophy extends to Rails.
Rails is neat, and IMO felt a lot more like an web app framework
than Django. Django felt more like it was better designed for creating
CMS than general web apps.
The one issue no one has discussed so far is ease and stability
of deployment on shared hosting provider setups -- not everyone
can justify a virtual private server.
My hosting provider (dreamhost.com) is a typical web host, and
it would be good to see web frameworks and applications working
nicely in such scenarios.
I would love to deploy more Rails apps at work, but Rails has a
huge problem running on dreamhost. It constantly crashes, pages
don't load randomly, performance is terrible, etc. After lots of
troubleshooting, I gave up trying to adopt Rails in my environment.
However, on the same setup php and python/fcgi run perfectly.
Consequently, I just setup a Drupal website for a school website
a few days ago and it could not have been any easier.
