Polish and refinement. Ruby's expressiveness and clean design make possible a level of elegance in Rails that I haven't seen in any other web framework. Ruby lends itself to DSLs much more than most other languages, Clojure excepted, and its meta-programming makes possible a number of shortcuts which help you to get a project up and running in record time. Add to that the magnitude of commits to the Rails project over its 14-year history and you have an ideal tool for SME web projects.
