That's probably because they went into it with very little 
experience with the alternatives. I was spoiled by my web.d and 
friends, as well as knowing how to use a real relational 
database, so getting on the Rails to me is like going back into 
the stone age.

But if you came from mysql 3 and PHP 4 or some other primitive 
trash, RoR might seem like the best thing ever.

I do kinda like the rails console repl tho. Of course, I kinda 
have that with cgi.d too, you can call its methods on the regular 
command line pretty easily, but that doesn't let you build up 
state as easily for quick changes and I do like that. (Maybe I'll 
offer such with my script.d, should be easy to add :P)

the rest of it tho is just awful.
