I guess its ''time to market'' is excellent (blog in five minutes). The ''coolness'' is also there (or at least used to be few years ago). As far as I know the ''total cost of ownership'' is not that low as one is used to. But it takes time to find out what ''TCO'' for some technology is. But maybe people are realizing that now. Which may also be the reason why [[ruby]] is not seen as cool as it used to be. At least that is my observation: the buzz has now switched elsewhere (for example to parallelism which is not [[ruby]]'s strongest point either).

		+	Just chiming in here. I'll admit that when I read this I laughed heartily I couldn't agree more!
		+
		+	The [[ruby]] on rails folks are obsessive compulsive about how awesome and
		+	"easy" rails is (e.g., a blog in five minutes), I suspect because it
		+	generates giant wads of code for you, which they somehow assume never needs
		+	to modified, or possibly that modifying it is "easy" or --- I don't know,
		+	something. Whenever I use it, though, I think to myself, "crap, now how do I
		+	debug these giant wads of generated unreadable code." I swear, every time I
		+	touch rails, I spend 90% of my time twiddling around with silly
		+	configuration and generation issues (or updating to version 2.20001, which
		+	seemingly changed the way you interact with your generated code from
		+	2.20000) and the rest on actually doing something useful. And keep in mind,
		+	I have a phd, write compilers in my spare time, and have done a "reasonable"
		+	amount of web programming for various projects, so this isn't exactly my
		+	first day.
		+
		+	Anyway, that's my two cents, for what it is worth (if anything).
