As a developer in the "out-back" (California Central Valley / Sacramento area), I find it a bit funny watching somebody who gets to use Ruby (at all) angsting over which framework to use. At least they have escaped the XML-Hell trap that is JEE.

I'm happy for the guy that he gets to do anything at all beyond that which is promoted by Oracle or Microsoft. I suppose Google might belong on the list of "Promoters not to be Ignored", as well, but they haven't flogged the use of inappropriate hammers enough, yet.

"JEE"

"Oracle or Microsoft"

Would any self-respecting programmer follow along with such idiocy if they were not paid to do so?

Certainly not the things I reach for when I'm at home, but that is indeed what they pay me to do :-)
