An anonymous reader writes "After two years of gestation, 4 betas, 2 release candidates and thousands of commits by 1600+ contributors, the result of the succesful merge of the Merb and Rails frameworks (and teams) is now out and ready to transport your web applications on all new shiny tracks."

Re:It's a nice framework

Could you give some examples from your own experience where the community has been problematic or not "grown up"? I've been using Rails for awhile now and have yet to run into anyone besides people trying to get good stuff done for their clients or companies, just like everyone else. What I *have* run into is a willful ignorance on Slashdot surrounding Rails, and more seriously, Ruby, which is a great language and really very similar to perennial Slashdot favorites Python and Perl.

This is something I wrote a while back: These are not the actions of people who care about writing the best code possible, these are the actions of people with egos chasing features and attention.

I haven't kept up with Rails development, precisely due to attitudes like these, but hopefully the injection of Merb will bring with it an injection of - yes I'll say that word - professionalism.
