  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.

  2. Great release by jgeiger · · Score: 5, Informative

    A lot of the changes have made the code much more modular. You don't need to include everything if you don't need it. This also allows you to plug in other database adapters if you want. One of the nice routing changes allows you to call Rack or Sinatra applications from within your Rails application. I'm really looking forward to using this going forward.
