I have been lucky to be able to pick what I want to use, so I pick non-rails stack (Sinatra/Padrino and now Roda + Sequel). No other tool works as half as Sequel. You're gonna have to pry Sequel from my cold dead fingers.

Don't get me wrong, I love Sequel. But ActiveRecord is far more polished. And that starts to matter once you start needing to go 'off-script'.
