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 ;)
