  1. It's a nice framework by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I've avoided Rails for years due to the community's reputation. So against my better judgement, I decided to build a project on the Rails 3 Beta, thinking that some of frameworks new features made it hard to ignore.

    And you know what? It's a really nice framework. Nice enough that in the future, I'll probably be using Ruby on Rails instead of PHP or Python when the project allows.

    But I do wish the community would grow up.

    When RC2 was released they said that they had to work on the ORM layer to speed things up before final release, less than a week later and the final release is here without any significant speed-up...
