See my point to Aaron.
It's not quite clear to me where Rails fits. Should it be trusted for a mission critical application? A high volume store front? Large scale application development? Those are good questions.
That's right. And it seems to me that before you spread the word that Rails is going to knock off J2EE and .NET, you might want to answer those questions.
If you're a technician doing biological research and working with a team, recording and analyzing test results in a database, would it be better to hand the team a Citrix connection and an MS Access database, or use Rails and MySQL?
If I'm not a professional programmer, there's a real good chance it would be better to buy a cheap data entry and analysis package. Could you imagine if a research study on cancer went awry because a non-programmer cobbled together something in Ruby and made a mistake? This trend of designing programming tools to for non-programmers is a little frightening if you examine it closely. I mean, there's a REASON why you can't just mix together your own potions and sell them as patent medicine. Joe
