Rails is a great framework, but it does a great deal of magic -- almost too much. There are other Ruby Web frameworks such as Merb and Ramaze that may be more to your taste. Personally, I like the Rails inflections. They work by well-defined rules, and knowing what's what has never been a problem for me in practice. > Thanks for > the input. > > ... doug You're welcome!
