Sorry guys, i dont think its a right place for a holywar :) I just wanted to know what`s the community opinion about merb. Not rails. My experience didnt go far into rails. But a have a lot good experience with DM, which fits Merb perfectly. Comparing to AR it didnt make such pleasure to work with.
Another thing - i have no idea what`s the alternatives to Rails. Sinatra? Camping? Sure not, they`re built for a different purposes. And having alternatives is always a good thing. Dont say its like you grabbed best pieces, put them into one pie and its the best solution and dumped merb after. No way :) I might sound a little weird, but its just my personal thoughts.
