I see your point, and makes sense of course. Yet we can easily fork the debate in several situations here :-) - project contribution and hacking; - production web apps; - time spent learning a framework; Its not easy nor free (time) to port production apps to another framework. I dont even know if its easier to port on a smaller company with fewer resources (as contradictory as may seem history tells us it is) than in a big company. Merb has an excellent basis to be worked on. Comes to mind a recent example, related to the run_later() method for small tasks. Is it implemented on Rails3 ? Some Rails friends went "oh cool!!". Love and use Sinatra. Merb+Datamapper+jQuery makes my day ;) @pedro_mg -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "merb" group.
