That's the thing, RoR made it so easy to be able to store the image in a database, but still have the speed of a cached copy on the file server. In essence, the first time /image/show/1.jpg is called, RoR will notice there is no file called 1.jpg and will automatically create the 1.jpg file on the filesystem. So from them on, I get the benefit of a quick file serve with the portability to different servers. I'm sure you could do the same with CF, but with RoR it's built in. That's where the main difference is for me between the 2. RoR has a ton of stuff built in that most developers do everyday. It may not be the most efficient, but it can get a lot of stuff done quick.
