I think you have a point here. Any web development is not really going to fit into the drag and drop GUI paradigm and IDE's in my experience get in the way of rails. The client wants to be able to rapid prototype ideas, and be able to change look and feel without altering other functionality. Rails is a big win for this type of project. The other big issue is hosting, most shared hosting only allow PHP (my hosting company Webfaction being an exception). And if they are not using a VPS then it may be better to look at php based model view controller setups like CakePHP or Ignite.
