I don't agree, I think that the impression on people like Ron is the same as on the industry as a whole, and I think that it is mainly due to the very poor PR that Rails have. Take the recent Twitter Scale Controversy for instance, I didn't see an official and strong response to that, although some individuals did a good job responding to it in their personal blogs. The same about the recent departure of Mike Gunderloy (which was one of the most active promoters of the technology) after the "Pr0n Star" issue. Such things give the impression that the technology is poor and the community is unstable or even immature. I'm a tech person, so I evaluate Rails based on technical merits, but managers usually have a very different point of view when choosing a technology. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
