How many of this type of frameworks we had. Padrino was there to fix something but achieved nothing. It is better to focus on rails and fixing rails rather than start a framework for everything.

Few doge years ago sinatra was faster than rails, today... not so obvious and still offering much smaller set of functionality.

Theres a bit of politics that get in the way of "fixing rails". Mainly, many things that others consider anti patterns, DHH and other maintainers are fine with.

For many of us "fixing Rails" is easiest achieved by starting from scratch.

... and that is why I prefer Sinatra to Rails.

See, e.g., the road to Rails 3 through Merb.
