The question then is, can you throw together a website in Ruby? Plus, have your non-technical folks be able to edit the templates?

By the time your "non-technical folks" are editing templates, you have a problem regardless of your language/framework. If you only have enough knowledge to "add an image" stay out of my HTML!

my life got so much easier when i stopped pretending that non-programmers should be able to work on the templating layer.

Ruby is not a hypertext preprocessor. You don't have a simple web server and a templating language in-scope unless you find them and set them up.

Define "non-technical". Are we talking "I need teh WYSIWYGz" or "Cascading styles like a boss"?
