I'm in the same boat - I was the first poster to this list :) I moved away from PHP completely for new development work to focus on ruby on rails back in 2006. While rails is gaining popularity, I think the numbers of rails developers in NZ is heavily outweighed by PHP developers. ( A stab in the dark 50:1 ). This causes a problem for many companies finding good rails developers. I have a feeling this is due to PHP being a very common language in education establishments for training. I'm interested to know if developers on this list considered learning ruby on rails and if they did what were the roadblocks? For me, I was 'throwing away' my years of PHP experience which was a touch decision but not one I regret. Would anyone be interested in a training/intro night in Auckland?
