This is not nearly as true in the case of RoR as it is in the case of 
Microsoft (or even IBM).  I'd rather partner with a guy who cusses than an 
unethical company like Microsoft.

Good points in this discussion are being made though, and it is certainly 
true that RoR needs to be evaluated by each person considering deploying 
it.  But that's no different than any tech afaict.
