You cannot really compare Sinatra with Rails. Rails has scaffolding, DB migrations and all this ultra-highlevel stuff rendering debugging to pure guess-work. Reminds me of doing template-metaprogramming with C++. If it works it's great and the performance rocks, if not you are left alone with cryptic errors and nobody can help you.

If you want Sinatra with scaffolding there is Padrino which I personally find to have superior scaffolding compared to rails.
