I see RoR like the school of Java(RoR is light years better than Java ) because it is more a cult following than a system that could scale up to industrial grade(all those companies that invest in Java as their main engine are insane, why use 1000 machines when you can use only 50 ?!?). If you need 100 machines for something for example ASP.net needs 10-20 machines then i don't have nothing to seek in that framework and i think that company that is based on RoR is predominantly made to go bust if it becomes big business.

Actually when i think it i would recommend to krackato to learn C# & ASP.net instead of PHP because if he thinks developing something bigger he will surely be better of with ASP than with RoR or PHP.

Personally i am more a fan of Lisp, Smalltalk & other functional languages.
