I do wonder how much of that simplicity is because of dynamic languages and not directly because of the framework. I've done quite a few projects with ASP.NET MVC and in my opinion it makes most things pretty easy. But there seem to be some things in Rails that make life easier, but they are really features from Ruby that you can use in Rails.

http://www.playframework.org/ is more likable than ASP.NET MVC, while Java is more rigid / verbose than C#.

Start from there.
