Now you are (slightly) bashing as well. I take issue with the "ever" part. As of today, Ruby and Rails certainly can and do provide enterprise-scale apps with minimal effort, and although this requires some skill now and then (particularly to properly scale up the server side), the trend towards better and smoother scaling in the RoR world is clear. I would like this not to keep sliding off into a flamewar, as it seems to be now. We all have various languages, tools and overall frameworks we favor. I, for one, have spent enough time on Java and J2EE, C++, Delphi, Ruby/RoR and (from a strictly non-prod standpoint) .NET to like many features of C# anyway. It is, as you said, a matter of TCO, which includes the critical factor of vendor lock-in. Not on the tooling anymore (though it certainly remains, so far, easier and more productive to use VS.NET than other tools, except maybe for Borland's), but certainly on the language, which is not, IIRC, as open and standards-based nowadays as it was first advocated to be. So it's TCO. And personal taste. Here we get people who love ASP.NET (as long as they stay away from VB, I can accept the notion ;-)), J2EE (with whichever frameworks permutation they use), ColdFusion (as we saw recently!), PHP, RoR or Delphi. It's fine.
